    Do a few cold boots with the vid card removed and then retry the onboard...
    You may have a dead vid card.

      I would...and test the vid card on another PC to make sure that may need to be returned as well...

      Hi

      Looking at the picture and manual for the motherboard there needs 3 connections from the power supply to the motherboard. Do you have a 4 pin molex connector plugged into by the pc1e slot as well as the square connector and the main power connector.

      I hope this helps

      Lisa

      Ya you might not have all of the power connectors to the motherboard. If not the motherboard may be fried. Good to test all the components on a known working PC too. Might be having a shortage of power from the power supply.
