Reseat your video card firmly. If you can use other memory, do so to test the viability of the motherboard.

It's best to test the board with only the CPU, memory, video card, monitor, keyboard and floppy at first.

I have done all of that and still nothing. I have cleared the CMOS and nothing.
Thanks

I think it's RMA time. :(

How does that work if you can't get into the BIOS.

I lived in Killeen for about 15 years.

You clear CMOS with a jumper on most boards. Some of the newer ones lack this feature, which I think is a mistake.

An ex-Texan, eh? How's Kentucky? Greener, I bet. ;)
