hello i just got a brand new motherboard. i installed everything and when i go to start up my computer it turns on but im not getting a feed through my video card. i have a chaintech 7kjd motherboard with an amd 1.3g cpu and a diamond speedstar a50 video card if anyone could help that would be great thanks

Check in the BIOS to make sure that you're box is reading video from the right source (either AGP or PCI).

i cant access the BIOS because i dont have any feed to my monitor i turn my comp on and the screen doesnt even flicker.

Can you hear the system go through the entire boot, you know, floppy & cd checks as well as a ok beep?
If not, I'd check my primary motherboard circuit - memory and cpu and power. If so, it 's probably a vid card issue, often a non-seated agp problem. or the stinkin' thing is just dead!

i think i have the problem somewhat narrowed down. i am not getting any power to my pci and agp slots. any recomendations

Hi I am having much the same problem as described here, I unfortunatly am not smart enough to know what kind of mother board i have, I had to take all of my cards and drives out of one motherboard and put them into a new one, so I got it all plugged in and started it up and i can hear it go threw its usuall boot up, except it doesnt beeb, but the drives start goin. i have noticed that there is an orange and white cord that says turbo sw on the plug that is not plugged into anything, it comes from the power switch at the top of he tower, I was wondering if this could be the problem and were that cord should be plugged into, it has three little holes on the plug. I am pretty sure that the problem does not lie in the video card (which i also do not know what kind) because i have now tried it with three cards that all worked before i but them into this mother board
