No success yet. I tried the Clear CMOS, but no change.
I reinstalled the old motherboard (same model, but had a fire that damaged
the on-board Firewire connector). The old mobo strated right up WITH VIDEO.
Same setup, same video card, etc. So I may have gotten a bad board from
DFI.
I'll get in touch with them and see if they can send another one.
