No video on Asrock P4VT8+ m/b

i`ve had this Asrock P4VT8+ m/b for a while but no cpu to install. Got a
3GHz prescott P4 recently and fitted it. Everything seems to boot up, all
fans spin, optical drives light up, hdd initialises but nothing outputs to
the monitor. I`ve tried various gfx cards (all radeon cards - 9700, 9600,
9250) and tested the monitor. All work in other systems. I had 1GB of ram in
it (1x512 and 2x256), took all out and put the 512 in slot 1. reset the bios
every time i changed something. No dice. Am i missimg something before i
replace the m/b? any help appreciated.
Sorry about x-posting, trying for max input

PSU not up to the task?
You are currently using an AGP vid card, have your tried a PCI version?
AGP settings are out of wack in the cmos?, try clearing and set bios to
defaults.

No onboard vga and according to asrock website, cpu is fully supported.

Replace the CMOS battery?
It may have discharged being left and they are cheap.
