I just recently bought an ASRock P4 Combo Socket 478/LGA 775 Intel 848P ATX Intel Motherboard from Newegg.com. I recently installed the board and have an issue with the motherboard reading the video card (monitor will not work).  The video card is receiving power, as the cooling fan is turning, and we have also installed a secondary video card to ensure that it is not an issue with the newer video card and we receive the same result – the monitor is not receiving signal from the video card.  Also, just before we installed the new motherboard the monitor was working properly.  We have also removed the battery and reset or cleared the CMOS.

I’ve been to their website for support and Q&A but to no avail nothing seems to correct the problem.

The monitor light just remains orange no matter what we do.

Do you have any feedback or suggestions as to why the motherboard would not be reading the video card or any other suggestions that would help correct the problem?



Thanks.
