Just picked up an ASUS EAX1950 Pro, when installed and boot up, i get a blank screen. No error beeps, system seems to boot up normally, have tried with 2 different monitors. have a ASUS P5L-VM 1394 board. have tried disabling onboard video to no avail. have also changed boot priority for display still nothing. I get the feeling i'm not thinking about something but i'm at a lost. any help would be appreciated.

I read somewhere to be sure and use 2 different rails when plugging in the molexes.

I have a similar issue with a Sapphiretech x1600pro agp. It's not a power issue since I just purchased a new Rosewill 550w PSU and it had the same symptoms as with the old thermaltake 480w PSU.

During troubleshooting I pulled everthing except the vid card and 1 stick of ram. Even tested all of the RAM individually.

I also read that it could be an AGP 8x issue with the slot. Some folks with the same symptoms were able to set AGP to 4x and it resolved their vid problem. I can't change my AGP setting with my MB so I wouldn't know.
