No video from onboard

Building a new system for my mother, nothing spectacular but I've run into some trouble.

I've put everything together already and it starts up without a hitch.. fans going, lights all good, cd drive even works fine.

Now I put a video hookup on it from my montior and nothing comes out.

What's going on? Do I need to put in an AGP card to go into bios because it's checking for an AGP or a pci card ?


Thanks.

Btw it's a NF7-M motherboard
2400+ Sempron
80 gig harddrive
52x CDRW
256mb of generic ram.
 
It should not be checking for AGP because default should be internal as I had that with my nforce1 board.

Try resetting the jumper on the BIOS (computer not on) and leave the jumper on reset for about 15 seconds and then put it back to normal position and turn on the computer.
 
I'm trying to just use the regular onboard video. When I turn the pc on I don't even get the bios on the screen. I have the monitor hooked up to the Onboard and I don't have an AGP card in there.

It's not onboard video that I want to disable.
 
I switched the ram and turned the computer on again. It still booted up fine, I could even hear the harddrive spinning but there was no video.
 
A shot in the dark here, but have you hooked up front usb ports? I have seen odd boot problems when they are not wired exactly right. If they are hooked up, try pulling the leads back off and trying to boot then. Also, is the 4 pin 12v connector hooked up to the mb?
 
Try booting with just the ram in slot 1, nothing else i.e. barebones, no Hdds or ATAPI. You may even want to pull it out of the case and put it on the box it came in for troubleshooting purposes. What is the brand and power rating of the PSU? Can you try a different stick of ram, perhaps from your own system? Also, when clearing the CMOS be certain the PSU is either unplugged or turned off from its switch, press the power button a few times or short the pins on the board to be certain it discharged, then put in clear position leave it alone for a minute then replace everything and try booting. Additionally, You can hold down the insert key while powering on.
