Old Gigabyte Board-good beep, no video

[castrwilliam]

Hello,
I just got a used motherboard (Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939). When I tried to test it, the board gives one short beep like the POST was successful, but nothing appears on the screen. When I remove components like the RAM or video card, the beeps change accordingly.

Specs of system under test:

Athlon 64 3800+ Newcastle
Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939
2x512MB Hynix DDR400
NVidia Geforce FX 5500 256MB PCI
300 watt HP OEM ATX12V supply

Thanks for your help. I know this is old.

Wow. You're right. It is old. ;-)
Have you tried changing the CMOS battery? If it dies, the boot sequence won't execute.

I don't have any brand new CMOS batteries on hand, so I tried a battery from a known working board, still no video. Could one board be more sensitive to low voltage than another?

If the PSU is working properly and the board isn't defective, the various voltages should all be withing required specs for any model board. Sorry, that's all the help I can think of...
