Help with motherboard powering

[sm0kiE]

Here is my situation:
Every time I switch my computer on (power supply switch), the system will automatically power. Fans will spin, etc.

However, nothing will show up on the monitor. I have to reset, press soft-on a couple of times, then it will goto BIOS screen, save&exit. There is no way to shut off the fans etc after I shutdown in WinXP. I have to turn off the power supply. Anybody know why?

Asus P4T-533-C
Pentium 4 2.53
512MB PC1066 RDRAM
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
SBLive!
Seagate Cheetah 36XP
Adaptec 2940 u2w controller
80 gig WD HD
intel 100s pro

Has this system ever worked before? Normally this indicates a bad CPU, but it could also indicate something assembled wrong.

Check the hardware monitor under "system" in the control panel, and look for any conflicts. Remove any devices with a yellow or red exclamation mark next to them and let windows reinstall them. If you don't find any problems, I would move the soundcard to a different pci slot or try the onboard sound.
