First off, I HAVE used http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems and have done my research, cruised old posts etc etc...
This build is intended to be a home dual monitor workstation for an accountant. No or limited video, ton of spreadsheets/browsers etc and spotify. I didn't intend on using a graphics card.
Specs:
Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128659
AMD Athlon X4 860K Kaveri Quad-Core 3.7 GHz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113379
G.SKILL NS Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231645
EVGA 100-W1-0430-KR PSU (430W)

I receive no video signal and hear an AGP error twice in a row on startup (1 long 3 short) All fans/lights function flawlessly. I have tried both input plugs on the mobo, and have set my monitor to the right input. I have reseated/pasted the CPU heatsink for good measure, with appropriate quantity. Installed non-conductive buffers on the standoff screws. At no point did I handle any component without being grounded/aware of shock. I have jumped in an attempt to default to onboard, and pulled the battery alternately. EVERYTHING on that checklist was performed.
Only video card I had available to check was a gtx260 that barely fit/psu didn't have enough connectors for the card. Would anybody recommend purchasing a cheapo vid card so I can at least post and set bios to onboard graphics?
