seagate 7200.10 sata 250gb

I have a red led, and blue led. all the fans in the case/cpu/gpu are spinning, hdds and cdrom seeking.

However, there is no display, just a blank screen. any suggestions?

Perhaps its just coincidence but w/o kb it booted and after it would not. Try a different kb and see what happens.

Dead mobo in all likelyhood I just rma ed my P7N for the same thing.

thanks for the responses.... tried another keyboard it still wouldn't boot. Next i have a second motherboard, and second vga coming. Will try a few more tests on this p7n before i make an rma

Just a quick heads up, for rma use the website the tech support is pretty bad over the phone and no one ever answers.

Well if its new then you should return it to the place of purchase for a refund or exchange. I had a p7n diamond for all of 24hrs after my striker II died and it was a giant pita for me. I couldn't run it stock with my q6600 but it would boot if I oc'd it to 3ghz, memory problems with my corsair - had to swap in some extra mushkin ddr2 I had laying around. When it refused to dl and install windows updates I had enough so I pulled it out and took it back. That was a very different experience from the one I had with my p6n sli plat which was a super mb.
