Can someone help me out here. I recently bought a new motherboard, a Soltek SL-75FRN-RL. It replaced my supposedly burnt out Asus A7V266. I plugged in my ram, my Athlon XP 1800+ and my GF4 Ti4600, all which worked when they were in another mobo for testing. The computer powers on, I have the speaker plugged in, I don't get any beeps from the computer. It simply boots up, and no video, my monitor is just blank. I have checked and made sure my video card was all the way in. I also did a clear CMOS which didn't help one bit. The only thing that works is the keyboard leds, all 3 of them flash on and off about every 7 or so seconds. I'm really frustrated right now, can anyone help me out?

1) Try removing and reseating the video card
2) boot up with 1 stick of ram at a time
3) try a different power supply

Check your HSF that it's seated correctly. Boot up and hold BREAK. I think that's the key, so that it bypasses fan check.

ok, I've tried the first 2, but now ill try a new PS. All the CD roms and HDD's spool up fine. I'm going to try the HSF method you suggested, thanks.

Tried a new PS, still doesnt work. Tried the HSF method you suggested, still nothing. I really don't know whats wrong, Im going to bring down a second computer, and interchange the parts.

i tried my PSU in the mobo that had my ram CPU and video card in it, and it booted. I am really getting frustrated. I have NO idea WHY its not working in mine ahhhhh

I now tried MY PSU in the motherboard, and the one from the other PC, and it STILL doesn't boot. Do you think I have a defective motherboard??
