Hi,
Although it is not overclocking related thing I think this forum have enough experience about P4C800-class motherboards to answer my question .
My spec is the following:
So I bought the motherboard this summer and I had to realize that my PC does not produce video signal at cold boot (I do not see anything on my monitor). No beeps. Pressing reset button or next cold boot can help and the BIOS is starting in the usual way. On the other hand the PC is quite stable and I use it without overclocking. I tried different BIOS versions without success.
To reproduce the problem you have to wait some hours.
My first impression was that the video card has a problem, but it is working perfectly in any other mobo (it requires additional power cable, but the Enermax PSU gives a dedicated one).
After that I found some discussions on different forums about (almost) same issue. See here:

Actually I think the problem is the motherboard but I do not see any option in the BIOS which could change this behavior. I tried to increase the AGP voltage but it did not help.
Any idea? Have you ever heard about the same issue?
Thanks,
