Hi, my PC was working ok, leaved on, next day i found it off... Power button, it starts up, hdd sounds like booting, but no video.

Followed every single step of the no boot/video etc. checklist, nothing, still no video. The graphics card is ok (I am using it right now on this other machine). I have a POST card and goes thru a lot of codes stoping at 00 02 (this is ok, right?).

I have cleaned the PCIe port (twice), re-checked everything... Did the checklist one more time... Nothing, still no video.

For some reason, suddenly, on one of the startups, it started the video!... and then... nothing again... I need some hint, if it started the video once, there may be some chance to get it work?

Almost forget to mention, the chipset gets hot very fast: in 15 sec touching it is painfull.

EDIT:
MSI K9N Neo V1.0

When I start with no graphics card, it does not make any beep nor hangs at other POST code.

When you try to post, is there a post code on the mobo? like B3 or anything?

It shows a lot of codes very fast, stoping at 00 02. The documentation that comes with the POST card says code 00 means POST OK, next: boot... Seems to be ok. Nothing about code 02.
