The boards been running fine since Feb, Just put a Geforce FX 5200 in
and at power on, nothing happen. The fans and drives spin up, but no
post and no video signal.

I've flashed to the newest bios for the mb ( 2020627), that's not helped.

Agp is set down to 1X
As far as I know these cards support AGP 2x/4x/8x not AGP 1x

I've tried 2x and 4x, I thought 1x might be the 'fail safe option' when
nothing else worked (as I couldn't think of anything else :) ).

What wattage Power Supply are you using?

Hi Ron,
Tried a 300w (the one that was already in the case), and a new 350w.
Didn't make a bit of difference.

I'm thinking, it's either a bios setting I'm missing somewhere, or the
AGP slot won't support the 1.5v 8x standard (but the boards only 5
months old and a 3 year old Abit BH6 has no trouble at all !!)

So, basically, I'm confused....
Also the first system in about 7 years I haven't been able to sort out..
