No Video Output

[thedawgmartin]

Hey,

I have the following products, which i have built entirely and seem to power on, but i'm not getting any video output.

Motherboard: M4A785TD-V EVO/U3S6 http://asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=Ic2Z48E0qdz0KwIU&templete=2
Processor: AMD Athlon II X3 3.0 AM3 http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=626#

Any ideas why this might be happening or what i should check? I have no internal speaker, so i cant tell if I'm getting beep codes or not.

Do you have a discreet (PCIeX16) card installed?

Frigg.. I figured it out. Some metal on the I/O Shield was sticking in a usb port and causing the video not to display... weird stuff.

Alvin Smith... for sure a sweet motherboard man. It was only $90 CAD too! Im using it for a media server, so its perfect with on board video and hdmi output
