I am assuming that this system has never worked. Never posted. Do you have the speaker plugged in? (can't remember if the K8V has a built in speaker). Trouble codes will be played thru the speaker if anything comes up in the post before the graphics card is activated. Strip the system to the bare minimum. Proc, one stick of RAM, and vid card. Any luck? Swap that stick of RAM and try again. Forget about CD's and booting. You just need to get the system to post. Once that happens, then you can attach your other devices, get into the BIOS and configure to your liking, and boot off of your XP cd and start installing the OS. -r schuetzen - RKBA! wrote: should I be booting with the Radeon CD or the Monitor driver CD or the HDD CD or maybe the M$ XP CD??? I cannot figure out what the hell is going on. but there are NO PTOs on the Radeon 9600XT card, the install manual does say that there are such on the 95 and 97. the 1.5V for the AGP 8X is supposed to be created from the mobo. thanks for the help people, I have tried booting off a Windows Install CD and have tried using the ASUS mobo CD. still nothing. I am going to assume the AGP is not working OR the Radeon is bad. will go to the parts store tomorrow and try to talk them out of a salvaged PCI graphics board and try that. the bios should have the drivers to crank up a CRT or a LCD monitor. have tried reseating the AGB board with no joy. going to quit. will appreciate any suggestions. IF I can get something working, I may just send this ATI back to NEWEGG and buy an NVIDIA instead. cheers -- chas The new Canon DSLR elist. no trolls, etc http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canon-dslr/join ... |

First double-check whether all the cables are
plugged in okay into the mb. Are you sure you've plugged in all the necessary power cables? If so, then try reseating the CPU a few times. RayO "schuetzen - RKBA!" wrote in message ...

Once that happens, then you can attach your other devices, get into the BIOS and configure to your liking, and boot off of your XP cd and start installing the OS. that is the sum total of my visit to CompUSA and MicroCenter. I bought an Nvidia PCI card (64bit) and was told to get the mobo off the metal case to see if it might be shorting it. then to pull the video card and see if I can get a Beep! so far, no. anyway, lots of things to try I do know that electricity is going to the AGP as the fan is running on the card's CPU and virtually everything is showing signs of life except for it not posting and nothing going to the monitors. ok, off to spend another few hours playing... cheers -r schuetzen - RKBA! wrote: should I be booting with the Radeon CD or the Monitor driver CD or the HDD CD or maybe the M$ XP CD???
