Boot system from external hard-disk with USB2

Checked your RAM chips? Remove them and boot up and see if it will beep. If you have another DVD drive, swap it and try again. The board battery rarely goes, and only change it when it is not keeping the date/time etc, it won't help in outputting video.

This is a known isue and ASUS is working on a sound driver for the chipset. Keep checking their site for driver updates. The board should all install with Windows 7 except for the sound drivers. Some people say they can install the vista driver and run it in vist or xp compatibility mode. The other thing you can do is pick up a cheap $20 Win 7 compliant sound card till the chipset driver issue is resolved.

The PCI slots on your motherboard are always enabled. The only exception is the PCI Express slot (intended for a video card), and in that instance, you need to go into Setup when the system boots, and tell it to use the PCIe for graphics, rather than the onboard port.

Hi again. As I mentioned in my other note to you, when installing a video card in a PCIe slot, you will need to tell the system (via Setup) which video to use. It will be somewhere in the various screens of BIOS settings for the motherboard. ASUS isn't really supporting this motherboard any longer, so the documentation I'd need to give you specific instructions is no longer available. Still, it is there in Setup (accessed at boot, by pressing the key prompted on your very first screen), you just need to look for it.

Once you've told the system which video to use, boot into Windows, and install the video drivers that came with the card.

Cheers
