Motherboard Installation Problem

[Andybean9]

I just bought a new Asus A7V333 motherboard and got an Athlon XP 2500+ 333 to go along with it. Anyway, I installed everyhting and when I turn it on the fans go and everyhting else, but I don't get any picture. I have tried everything I can think of to get the thing to show the video, but I don't know what the problem is! Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Did you check to make sure the jumper settings are correct? I looked at your motherboard but I couldn't tell by the picture if those were dip switches next to the agp slot. Keep your manual handy. What do you have for memory in it? If you turn it on without the memory will it beep? You could also clear the cmos by taking the lithium battery out for 10 sec. Don't get nervous yet. Keep us posted, good luck.

1)Check the "ClearCMOS" jumper (read your manual)
2)Verify that the power supply has the capacity to power all the devices used in your system
3)Make sure the drive ribbon cables inside the computer are attached correctly and secure
4)Check for shorts and overloads inside computer by removing nonessential items such as extra controller cards and IDE/ATAPI devices and turning the computer on to see if it starts to boot. Leave the motherboard, power supply, RAM or processor. If the problem goes away, there was a short or overload with one of the components that you just removed or one of those components is faulty. Replace each of those one at a time until you isolate which is causing the problem. If the problem still occurs after removing the nonessential components, the problem has to be with the motherboard, power supply, RAM or processor
5)Make sure that you have mounted the motherboard correctly with the spacers/stand-offs. In addition, make sure that when you insert the screws to tighten the motherboard into place, make sure not to tighten the screws too much
6)Check with other VGA (AGP4x not AGP2x)
7)"Power-on" the system without CPU (for 5-7sec.), press 4sec. to "shut-down", install the CPU and "power-on" again...
8)From ASUS
