I just put a new system together with the following specs--
Gigabyte S3
E4300 Core 2 Duo
2x512MB Corsair 667
evga 7900gs
LG dvd-rw
250gb wd sata hdd
I get no display on my monitor when the system boots up. In fact, I get no BIOS beeps either. I've checked the speaker a couple times to verify its on the right way and still nothing. I also tried using an old 8MB Ati PCI video card to rule out a DOA video card. Nothing. The only other thing I think it could possibly be other than the board, is the power supply. It's a 380W unit that came with the case I got. The video card requires a minimum of a 400W ps unit. I figured the board would still post with the old 8MB vid card in there though, right? Any other ideas as to why I wouldn't get a display? Also to note, it takes a few seconds for the cpu fan and chassis fan to turn on. Kind of like everything starts up slowly.
