A8N-VM no signal...HELP!

Hello, we just installed an A8N-VM and the monitor cannot detect a
signal. The monitor works fine on a different PC. Fan, hard drives
and CD/DVD drive are all spinning. We've reset the CMOS. The Power
supply is a new Antek 400 so should be plenty. Unplugged and
reseated the monitor cables. We've tried disconnecting everything
but the monitor to try and get into the BIOS with no success. We've
tried using F1, F8 AND delete as it's booting to get into the BIOS
with no luck. I tried connecting a different monitor to it and that
one went straight into Sleep Mode (I think). When I unplugged the
cable, then the "no signal" screen displayed.

I'm totally at a loss!!! Can anyone help me????

Thank you so much in advance.

Did you plug in the ATX12V 2X2 power connector ?
Modern computers have at least two motherboard power connectors.
That 2x2 square connector powers just the processor.

It shouldn't matter (but might), but did you set the Primary Graphics
Adapter to IGP (assuming you are using the onboard video)? If you have a PCI
video card, you can see if it will work in place of the onboard nForce 6100
(change the above setting to PCI). If it does, I'd contact Asus's warranty
dept.

Form Factor

uATX Form Factor, 9.6"x 9.6"(24.5cm x 24.5cm) . I'm ASUS K8N Series
with an AMD Athlon 64 3400 with it fine for me. I'm running a 450Watt
ATX Power Switching Supply. For the specs above I would recommend at
least 500 or higher ATX power supply. Also check the the riser setup
and also make sure all your risers are one size and quarter turn tight.
Also make sure you have a 24 pin setup not a 20 pin setup and also you
have to have the 4 pin setup for the board to. Also check your graphics
card for a PCI-E Power Connecter.
