This system was working but I wanteed to put a new HD in it and a new PS because the PS cooling fan stopped working. After I took the PS out (then I waited a few days for the new PS to arrive). When I hooked the PS back up, the PS started working but I could get any video on the screen. I didn't get any beeps from the system and other than no video it didn't seem like there was anything wrong. I unplugged the new PS and put the old one back in but the results were the same. I have a feeling I have something connected wrong but everything looks OK. I downloaded the Users manual and they have no trouble shooting info. But I did check the MoBo connecters and it looks like they are all plugged in correctly. Do you have any idea as to what I might do or check>

Just a suggestion for you to try.
This is to check whether your PCI-E card is ok or not.
The BIOS setting option should be on PCI Express.
Take out the power cable from the hard disk - we don't want to mess around with window driver or system that might be the culprit.
Now turn on the computer, if ok, you should see some texts on your screen. This is a confirmation that your PCI-E card is still working. So then for you to work on your windows to solve the problem. Good luck.

RAM usually goes in pairs. Do tests with two sticke. They have to be identical

It sounds to me like you are right with the motherboard being bad, however, before you try that, try re-seating the memory. Also, try just putting 1 memory stick in. If you do both of those and still nothing, then I would definitely look into getting a new motherboard because that probably is your problem.

At this point I would try another processor and if you still can't get video with another known good working processor then that means the motherboard is bad. Also check for puffy capacitors, that would cause the motherboard not to post as well. If all the capacitors has flat heads on them then the motherboard is still bad.

Remove everything except CPU and 1 stick of RAM. Attach monitor to onboard graphics and under Integrated Peripherals in BIOS there SHOULD be option for display, it needs to be set to PEG so it looks for a PCIe graphics card first. If you still get no picture, DOA motherboard.
