it booted and posted before... but then all of a sudden it doesnt post... and no video signal, but the fan on the video card spins which is attached to the video card and not the mobo. the hsf spins fine. cdrw seems to work and the hard drive warming up i can hear. if i put no ram in then it beeps constantly but then i put it in then NOTHING!!!! the monitor says check video card. and there is no post beeps. wut am i supposed to do. this is very urgent. any help will be apperciated... thank you!

Make sure your vid card is seated firmly in it's slot.

Check for:

- Loose CPU
- Loose Ram
- Loose vidcard (mobo will usually beep if it's loose though)

thanx but no go is there any other solution?
i sat the vid card in right about 5 times. the cpu about 5 times and the ram about 10 times. and i only get beeps when the ram is out of the slot. i dont get any beep at all when everything is plugged in. HELP!!!

unplug the power cord (120v), clear the cmos - sing dancin' in the rain for about 30 mins, try it again

Wait a minute. It beeps with no ram?

Does it beep if you pull the vid card?

If so then it SOUNDS like the mobo is actually working. You sure it's not the video monitor? Bad vid card? Got some others you can swap out to test?

well i know its not the mobo because it beeps when i take out the vid card. but no beep if everything is in properly. ill check the monitor though.

Just try it with the vid card and yank the modem for now. As FP said, try, If you have, another vid card.
