Hello, you say you have no video. I checked the manual for that motherboard
and it specifies that you need at least a 4x up to an 8x AGP card. I checked
the video cards you said you tried and they don't specify what AGP they are.
This is the link for the manual on your motherboard
http://www.giga-byte.com/Download/Download.asp?DownloadPath=/MotherBoard/FileList/Manual/manual_8inxp_e.pdf
I would also go in to the setup and see what the settings are. Maybe you can
change something in the setup so it will see the video card. But make sure
you are using a video card that the motherboard recommends. I suppose that
if the video is not working then you won't see the setup. The video card can
not just work with 4x motherboards, with this motherboard it has to be at
least 4x. I hope this helps you.
