Hi,
I have a KK-266 motherboard with an Antec-SX280 case and Athlon 1GHz./266 processor. I have a cheap PCI video card (Kaser) with SiS chipset. The problem is that when I power it on, the Power On Self Test does not show up on the video. In fact, there is no signal to the video. The CPU fan connected via the mobo works fine and an LED (I do not know what it means, undocumented) on the lower left corner lights up. I do not have any other stuff installed as yet (no FD, cards etc.). Somebody asked me to try the CMOS clear ( I have yet to try it). There is no beep and no other toubleshooting aid as per the mobo vendor. I tried powering up and down at least 10 times.
What hardware should I suspect? Could the mobo be partially shorted due to contact with a standoff? I am confused. What procedure should I follow to fix this. Could it be the mobo or the video card. Please help.
