Make sure the video card is good and also that it is seated in the slot properly. You may need to actually remove it from the slot and push it all the way back in to reseat the card to make sure it is in all the way.
You marked it irrelevant; how about some more information then? If the monitor is good and it is not getting video, it is the video card. Either the video card is not installed correctly or the video card is bad (or onboard video).You marked it irrelevant; how about some more information then?

you may re-seat your ram, video card and processor and pci cards. Turn it back on and see if that works. If you have to do that often then your motherboard has a bad connector or socket on it. If you just installed somthing on your pci slots take them out. If re-seating your ram video card processor and pci slots doesn't work, remove all pci cards and try, If that method works, install them 1 at a time and see when it stops working to isolate the problem.
In short, yes you can upgrade to a P4 cpu but from the compatibility chart at Intel support, it looks like the upper limit for this older board is the P4 2.6GHz.
Note: Even at that, running the P4 2.6 would require a BIOS upgrade to P12 or greater.
Luckily, the following link has the information you seek: (for BIOS info, click the "BIOS Version" link in the upper right corner of the compatibility table provided)
if its totaly blank , the first thing you should try is connecting it too an external moniter, that will rule out motherboard or graphics card problem if you get a display to an external moniter
This motherboard supports up to 3gig of RAM so you can go ahead and upgrade it, There's no particular order fo install the RAm just put it to the empty slot then that's ok..
On your board in the corner at bottom, you find pins for front panel Power Switch Cable, over there in small characters PWR SW is written, you can put your Power SW Wire there
There seems to be two issues here, the front switch on/off button, should turn off if you arent getting any video to the monitor, unlike when booted into windows when you have to press and hold the button in.
there could be a number of reasons for the monitor not coming on, but if you cannot get into the bios (f2 or Del on boot up) the cmos chip is corrupt or faulty and require that you clear the cmos by the CLRCMOS, JBAT1 terminal, refer to your manual for the exact terminals and try re booting the pc.
if you can get into the bios, go to advanced cmos settings and ensure that agp is set as primary graphics adapter if you have a graphics card, or pci, if not vga should be set as the primary controller.
Also check that the motherboard is not touching/shorting on the pc casing, and that the memory that you are using is compatable with the motherboard normally signaled by one beep, proceeded by another for the graphics.
