Maximum Front Side Bus support is 266Megahertz.
(Max FSB = 266MHz)

(Motherboard manual states 133MHz.
Note that AMD processors are 'Double-pumped'.
This = 266MHz )

The .13u stands for 130nm core architecture technology.

Hi,

First of all which operating system is on the machine?

Secondly have you been into the BIOS to see if the on-board has been disabled. To get into the BIOS restart the computer and press either the Del or Esc key to access the BIOS.

Also go to device manager and see if the audio has been disabled from there.

If you have installed Windows 7 or Vista then there could be a chance that the motherboard drivers are not designed for the operating system. If that's the case then no driver will work.
You would have to manually search the internet for someone who may have found a compatible driver.

Usually you need to disable the on-board video/activate the AGP slot in the BIOS before adding the video card. (Check your manual for entering the BIOS - often hit F1 or F2 (or enter when prompted) as you start the computer before the OS starts loading.)

I have no idea how you see the BIOS information without a working video to start.

2GB. If you need more specs, they are available here

One long and two shorts is usually:

Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information.

You seem pretty comfortable with troubleshooting, so here is a reference document ...

Do you get the boot up screen when you power the computer on? If you can get into the BIOS, make sure your primary video is set for the onboard. Hope this helps.

I think you have overheating problems
Check all fans are working and vanes are clean including power supply one
Check heat sink on CPU that the vanes etc are clean and clear of dust and fluff
Give case a vacuum out including all vent holes also the ones on inside case of power supply
see how you go this problem is usually the cause of persistent reboot

Hi dl1099, your motherboard L7VMM2 can only run a 4xAGP video card as noted in your manual pg. 2 Settings pg. 36
If your not getting video at boot up switch connectors on the video card.

well,if you are sure that the new power supply is new and ok,than more than sure,if you dont have any response from the mainboard,that it is damaged by the high tension who allready burned your initial power supply.
I suggest you to visit a specialised service because for now its nothing you can do more.but first be sure you have a quite functional new power supply.
bye
