you don't give us much to go on. If it is a newer board, and you plug in a
agp or pci card it should disable the on board vidio, if it is older you may
have to disable on board vidio, if no vidio card is plugged in and you have
no vidio, It may be a bad board. Make sure the board isn't grounded, also is
the cpu and memory known to be good, the power supply could be bad! You need
to give us more info.

Try telling us exactly what you are trying to put together and you will get
a better reply to your remarkably vague question.

A good question. The board has no jumper to switch between AGP and onboard.
Double checked with manual. The manual states that apart from the onboard
video
a video card can be used in the AGP or PCI slots.
And as I get no video signal I can not go into BIOS to see any video
enabled/disabled
option.
Finally yes, I tested the AGP video card in another PC and it's fine.

Pardon the shortage of information. The board is a Biostar socket 478
P4M80-M4
purchased to replace a P4P800-E that died. It was purchased to save money by
reusing the
3.0Ghz Northwood CPU and 2 x 1GB of 800FSB memory. Naturrally I would have
prefered
ASUS but I simply could not find any socket 478 boards

There is no jumper to disable the onboard video. Without a video signal I
can not
check the BIOS to see if there is a enable/disable option.
The board is absolutely not grounded and the Power Supply is new (coolmax
500W)
and tested. The CPU and memory are good as tested on another working ASUS
P4P800-SE.

The Biostar board produces no video signal even from the onboard. with no
video card
installed.

I have seen a PC with AGP slot show no video at all. Tried another vid
card from parts laying around and it worked. Turns out the 8x AGP slot
was bad but a 4x AGP card would work.
So it could be anything but if nothing starts then probably mobo.. or
power supply?

Yes it is bad.

Thanks very much. That's one scenario I never thought of. If I can find one
of my old AGP 4x cards I will test it out.
