Monitor reports "no vga > signal". I think I am just screwed. No memory = no worky. ;P A computer must have functional RAM in a supported configuration, and it must have a functional CPU that is supported both by the hardware and by the power supply capability of the board. The CPU and RAM and some other parts have to pass the POST before the system gets around to looking for and turning on video. Something else to check, both Intel and AMD have produced various CPUs that will plug into sockets they are not at all compatible with. If you are lucky all that will happen is the computer will do nothing instead of destroying the CPU with too much power or power applied to data connections. I've been working with and on PC systems for 32 years now, seen a lot of crazy things with the hardware. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
