just bought the system, trying to turn it on for a test run, already ran into problems.
the P5B's standby blue light turns on. I can turn on the system via the power switch on the case, the fans start up, the P5B lights turn red (which is "active")
but there's no output on the monitor and no beeps from the bios
since this was supposed to be a minimal boot I didn't connect everything... I did the following:
1) connected the video card to the mb. no power supply link is needed for the card.
2) connected the cpu, ram, hdd. connected the cpu heatsink fan cable.
3) connected the main power supply line to the mb, as well as the 4-pin line
4) connected the power/res switches + leds
I have no other pci-e x16 cards to test to see if there's something wrong with the card.
I can't tell if the card is "on" as it's a fanless card with a passive heatsink
is there anything else I should try?
