Possible MB Issue?

by dave.osborne . Updated 22 years, 1 month ago

When power switched on:

Lights and Fans turn on; CPU and video card lights turn on; CD, DVD, floppy, and HD spin up (but it doesn?t appear to read the HD); the NO SIGNAL box on monitor flickers, but does not do anything.

Things tried:

Reboot (obviously)
Tried a different monitor
Tried a different video card
Pull and reseeded both RAM chips (512 each)
Tried each RAM chip one at a time
Removed power and CMOS battery overnight and then put it back in
Tested battery, found that it was bad, and replaced.
Reset CMOS with motherboard jumper.

Case contents:

Asus A7N8X Deluxe MB
Antek 420W PS
AMD XP 2700+
2 X 512MB RAM
SATA 120 GB HD
DVD-R
DVD
AGP 8x 256 MB Video Card

Any other ideas beside what has already been tried? Still looking for a PCI video card to test if AGP port is bad. But, should still get POST beeps if something was wrong. Points for answers that lead to fix or cause of problem.

Thanks, Dave
