More problems - no video

[Glenn9643]

I had to RMA my Chaintech VNF4 last week; it was DOA. Got my replacement today. Installed 1g Corsair VS, AMD64 3000, Chaintech 6200 PCI E video card. Attached CD, FD, HD power and cables and case wiring. Turn it on and mobo fan works, CPU fan works, video card fan works. Can hear something from HD initially. No video. My monitor indicates it's still in powersaving mode. No beeps. Any suggestions? Have I missed anything?

Default your BIOS. When Chaintech repairs they automatically upgrade it to the latest one. I got one last time that nobody even recognized. Easily the coolest most helpful thing I've ever seen. Asise from that make sure your memory is seated properly and only start with one stick. Reseat the video card. Make sure you plugged into the right SATA port. I'm also going to assume that you plugged in the Power Supply last. It's usually the simplest thing like not plugging in the 4 pin ATX CPU power plug.
