PC Chips MB - will not initialize monitor
I build pc's for disadvantaged children from donated parts. I am by no means
an expert, but sometimes know what I am doing (maybe?). I had two pc's which were in my house when the power was struck by lightning. They were not even plugged in, but the in-ground power line was struck 4 - 6 ft away from where these pc's were sitting. They have not since been able to be booted. I bought two new motherboards (PC Chips M825G Mainboard Via KM266Pro;Sckt A; 462 (integrated video, audio, lan)), the ram, drives, and monitor check out as working on working pc's. But nothing will display on the monitor when used on these new MB's, the fans start, the drive lights flash, but nothing displays. I have tried multiple power supplies, and several processors (XP1600, XP1800, 2- XP2400, all AMD's). Online there are notes that the bios reset jumper sometimes causes confusion on this model, but it turns off all fans, etc. so I don't believe this is the problem. Does anyone know of anything I may have missed? All power supplies tested with were in the house at the time of the strike, is it possible 4 power supplies all failed in a way that is allowing the fans and drives to power up, but not initialize the monitor (I assume this would be no power to the processor)? Is the chipset in the M825 picky when it comes to memory? The memory was tested on a PC Chips M811, and a ASUS A7V8X-LA.
