I just bought a MSI K7T Turbo. I have to press the reset button two times after I press the power button for my computer to start. My computer turns on when I press the power button, but the display doesn't. Any ideas whats wrong?

I had that problem at first. I took all my cards out except the video and it booted up. Right now when I have to press the reset button two times for my monitor to turn on, I think my leds might be red too.

check and make sure the agp video card is seated firmly in the slot. there are two sets of contacts, the second one is above the first one. I had a similar problem and by reseating the agp card, the problem corrected.

Could it still be my agp isn't in all the way. I'm pretty sure its in all the way. My computer turns on if I press the reset button two times.
