[hillbillybest]

I am buiding A PC with a 875 PBZ Mb a Radeon 97000 Vid card. When I start up my Monitor does'nt recieve a signal. I have reinstalled ,ram ,Vid Crd, processor. I have tryed witout the ram. Checked all cables and hookups. Unhooked cd rom , HD, and floppy. Still no response from the monitor. I've tryed using the monitor I am using at this moment. I bought a new Sony LCD Still nothing. I purchase another new Vid card, nothing. Does anyone have experience with the 875 Mb Thanks for any help

I havn't heard of that one but there are a couple of things to check like are the drivers for the AGP slot up to date? I remember having to do that to get my 9500 pro to work.

Also, have you put in a different card altogether to see if it works? Like a cheap $40 nVidia card? It could be that a.) Your Mb doesn't like ATI (mine hates nVidia) b.)Your power supply doesn't have enough power to run the card and everything else in the system.

I guess I'd need more data to know what the trouble is. Can you list everything you have hooked into your system and the other details like that. Also, search google for your board. There's bound to be info on it somewhere.

Hi Kylebellamy.
I really appreciate your help. You state that I need to give you more data on my problem.
If you would re-read my message you will see that I basicly covered everything
I have a new Radeon 9700 right out of the box. It wouldn't respond to the new Mb so as i said before " I purchased a (as you would say cheap video card). It didn't work either.
As far as the drivers being up to date. If you could tell me how to install drivers without a monitor i would be more than willing to learn.
I need nothing but the Motherboard, Processor and Videocard to get the bios to flash a post screen on the monitor.
I disconnected the Hard-drive,CD rom and the floppy
I have no devices hooked to the Mb.
I've uninstalled and Re-installed the Processor,the Heatsinc, the Memory Moduals, and the two Video cards.
i've double checked and re-connected all of the internal Headers,and all of the Hardware control cables. i have tried startup with the memory installed, without the memory installed, with part of the memory installed. All three fans work, the mb's green light comes on. The fan on the cheap video card doesn't come on. (
i repeat.) This is a bare bones PC. I need the thing to send a signal to the Monitor so I can start installing the Operating system.
Oh yes , The memory modual's are compatable with the Mb. I double checked before I purchased them and rechecked after I received them.
It seemss that I am getting no power to the AGP slot on the Motherboard. As i've said the Video card fan is the only one that doesn't work. The other three do.
Does anyone know what the " Chassis Intrusion Plug is? It is a two pronged male plug simular to a fan plug attached to the 875 Mb. What is it's purpose?

Help Pls. THANKS

I wasn't trying to get you upset there! Sorry if I came across wrong. I was just trying to flesh out some details and see if anything rang a bell for me.

If I remember correctly, the Chassis Intrusion Plug is used in conjunction with software to monitor if someone has opened the case. This quote is from a Dell thing I was reading:
" * Enabled — If the computer cover is opened, the setting changes to Detected, and the following alert message displays during the boot routine at the next computer start-up:

Alert! Cover was previously removed."

Have you tried this link?

Intel makes the board and there are some ideas there including how to load the bios drivers I mentioned before if things aren't working correctly.

I just read something about a reviewer using a 9800 on that board and it was fine so it has to be either your Bios or the board is broken.
