A shot in the dark, but assuming the video card & monitor are OK and you
installed the motherboard yourself, make sure it's NOT touching the case on
the bottom.  I've had that happen and that's exactly what I got.  If not,
then suspect the motherboard.  Don't discount the cables for HD/Floppie are
backwards also.

Subject: [PCBUILD] No display


Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me troubleshoot a new computer I am building
for my daughter.
m/b- D1170-A (fujitsu-siemens)(onboard sound and video)
cpu- Intel Celeron 800mhz (socket 370)
RAM- pc100 64mb sdram (x2)

So far, I have not connected anything else,as there is no display, and so no
access to the bios.
All components are new,including case and power supply,  and the mainboard
lights up, but that's as far as it goes. I have tried 2 new processors so
far.
When I disconnect the monitor, I get a white screen, so a connection is
being made somewhere.
I have checked and double checked the switches.
