    you probably missed something important. post more details about the parts themselves, your power supply, and any other parts you're dealing with.

    how much prior experience do you have with computer hardware? there are multitudes of possible problems that would cause no video to be displayed.

    I've been doing this for a couple of years now and I never had this problem. I'm starting to think may the board is bad

    Did you plug the 4-pin power plug to the motherboard for powering your P4 processor?
