When powering on the machine, everything seems to work normal (fans, dvd player, LED's)... except there's no video! That is, lots of time. Sometimes it does have video on the VGA, or it appears on the s-video output (tv).
I don't know what blocks the video. I tried 2 video cards: geforce 2, and now a brand new gigabyte 6600. Same thing. What I do notice, is that when it works, the mobo gives a beep right after powering up. And vice versa: no beep, no video.
There is also another issue, it may have to do with it: when connecting a second display (on the DVI), the system freezes. Tried forceware 78.xx and 84.21
