Just upgraded my old athlon t-bird 900mhz to a new mobo with an Athlon XP 1800+. Anyway this isn't the first time I've installed a new motherboard but I've had a problem this time. When I boot it i get no picture on my monitor. My video card is inserted properly and it was working fine before the upgrade. Any ideas? Did i fry my processor or something... (no idea how i could of done this)

Do your fans spin? (CPU, PSU fan etc.) Are the harddrives spinning up?
Check the standoffs underneath the motherboard. Make sure that there are no 'extra' that may short anything underneath.
