Trouble with KT7A!!!!!!

I need serious help, Just got a amd 1.2 cpu and a ABIT KT7A
motherboard. When I turn my power on, my moniter sits in standby mode, but I can here the computer go to post. I have a asus 6800 geforce 256 on the board now. Pulled it out and put in my old tnt 2 and it still does the same thing, tested my monitor on a 2nd system I have, but it works just fine. Was wondering if my AGP slot is bad? If
anyone has an answer please let me know,,,

Thanks in advance....

Do you have access to a PCI video card? See if that works. If it does go into the BIOS and into the Integrated Peripherals section. <b>Init Display First</b> is probably set to <b>PCI</b>. Change it to <b>AGP</b>.

If that is not the problem see if you can find an answer at <A HREF="http://www.icrontic.com/faqs/kt7faq/kt7faq.htm" target="_new">Paul's Unofficial Abit KT7 FAQ</A>.

I'm leaning toward it being a power supply problem. <A HREF="http://www.geforcefaq.com" target="_new">WWW.GeforceFAQ.COM</A> recommends that your PSU be able to supply 20 amps on the 3.3 volt line for the combination of Athlon + Geforce256 (TNT2's use a lot of power, as well, but not as much). (A typical 300-watt PSU only supplies 14 amps on this line). If yours is inadequate consider purchasing a new one but check the individual specs of any PSU you consider. I like the Enermax EG351P-VE (330 watts, 30 amp on 3.3v, 32A on 5v, and 12A on 12v). I believe this unit has been replaced by the EG365P-VE, 350 watts. (I don't know the individual specs).
