Hi!

I just recieved a motherboard that won't display anything on my
monitor, I tried all my peripherals in a different machine, cards,
cpu, ram etc. but nothing wrong there. It powers up fine, but nothing
happens. My drives react on power-up, and I get a single BIOS beep,
but thats it. I can't see a jumper for cmos resetting, and i tried to
remove the battery but no difference. The voltage is set correctly
(133 Mhz for an athlon XP 2100). It doesn't touch the chassis
either.

wus 'appenin'?

By co-incidence this happened to me 2 years ago when I was building a &v-AXP
with a 2100 Athlon! I found that "auto" multiplier jumper setting is no
good, you need to set the multiplier manually.
