No video on power up on new machine.

[Igloo]

Hey guys,
So, I'm building a new budget system for a family friend and I've run into a situation I haven't seen before. I finished it all up, and when I powered it up for the first time, I get drive activity (HDD and CD), POST (keyboard lights), single speaker beep, the works. However, I am getting no video signal. I've swapped out the video card to test it out (there is no onboard VGA on this board) and nothing. I put the VC in another system and tested it, and no problems. Same with RAM. I've double checked all the connections (it was late when I put it together ) still nothing. Any ideas?

Mobo: PC Chips M848A 2.1
Proc: AMD Semprom 2800+ (socket A)
PS: 450wt
VC: ATI 9250

Have you tried starting in safe mode?

Hello! Welcome to TechSpot

Does this card require seprate power supply cord?
May be a bad agp slot.

So, after I posted, I decided to pull the mobo out and do a bench test. On the table, still had the same problem. So, decided to take the board and proc back to the retailer I picked it up at. We grabbed another board and off the shelf, fired it up and guess what....bad board. With it POSTing, my guess, bad AGP slot.
Geat call there!
