I know this may seem a bit daft but check that you have the keyboard
plugged into the right connector

Subject: [PCBUILD] No BIOS / Boot...
Hope somebody can help... this is driving me crazy!
Purchased an FIC AZ11 m/board and Duron 800 chip new as the foundation
of a new system build. Also purchased a new case / power supply, RAM
chip, and video card. Other parts <floppy, CD ROM, hard drive> were
working spares I had laying around.
Assembled system <I have assembled many Pentium systems prior to this>
and was ready to go. Powered up fine <all accessories, fans, h/drive,
CDROM> but it appears no signal is being sent to the monitor. So, I
re-check all the connections and try again. Still, nothing but a black
screen <monitor is fine>.
I re-checked all the jumpers, re-installed the CPU, tried booting
without various components <h/drive, floppy, CD>, tried different video
cards, RAM, hard drives, etc., but there is still no signal being sent.
To make it more difficult to diagnose this m/board apparently uses some
"spoken word" program to diagnose BIOS errors which requires an add-on
card which I don't care to use or buy.
I don't have another AMD based board to test the chip, either. Only
hint: if I hit the reset button I at least get a temporary flash or
"line" in the monitor for a brief second..... anybody have any ideas
before I send this thing back?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated......
