Default Startup Problem

Okay.

So I've got an oldish Epox EP-8RGA+ Motherboard. 1.1Ghz. 512mb DDR400 Ram
40Gig HDD. CD-Rom etc.. Everything is there. It worked fine last nite.
Moved it into another chassis.

It starts up just fine, except that I don't get anything on my screen.
It runs from the onboard graphics.Tried 2 PCI graphics cards and 1 AGP card
with no success. Changed the ram. Unplugged the HDD etc. Did a CMOS Flash.
Nothings working.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanx

Hi welcome to the forum the best thing to do in this case is to remove the mainboard cards power supply and set it up on a table"wood not metalic" plug cards memory power supply in keep it to a minimum least hardware possible and where you plug the power switch in on the mainboard cross the 2 pin for a second it should boot do you get a display then?

Howdy Derikj

I know easy question but have you installed any drivers?
What type of onboard video do you have?
