I am running a amd 2200+/512mb Corsair 3200 ram/AT7 mobo/ATI all in wonder 128mb vid card... Everything lights up like it is about to turn on, but i get no signal through the video card. I hooked everything up to the motherboard before giving it any power, so i know i havent shorted anything. motherboard was NIB when i got it and radeon was in retail box too. I have a duron 750, but i cant get it to post with that either... I get a few series of beeps meaning that no video card is detected.. I made sure the card was in right. Im using a 300w power supply.. And i am about to go crazy because i have just got all my parts and now the stupid comp wont start.... PLEASE HELP!!!... thanks... also i have tried using regular 2100ddr ram instead of corsair, and i have tried using a geforce card instead of radeon.... im out of ideas..

Keep reseting that video card. I have seen many new boards be extremely picky about how the card is seated. You might even try a little electrical contact cleaner in the AGP slot.

- Reseat the video card

- Reseat the ram

- Reseat the CPU

- Some mobos come from the factory with the CMOS reset jumper enabled (I think they do this to prevent the CMOS battery from running down). Make sure the CMOS reset jumper is on the normal position.

Hope this helps...
