its only got one slot for the video card, the rest are for other cards, the video slot is brown and back farther, then it has 5 or 5 white slots for other cards.
danny_galaga:
oh ok. the brown one is (i think) one o them new fangled agp slots. well not that new fangled. the white ones are pci. the only way to test a single slot (without being a techy) would be to borrow another agp device off someone and see if it works or not.

thats me for ideas!! im quite bad at this sort of stuff myself  >:(

Okay, at least that confirms you have a 1.5v AGP capable card going into a 1.5V AGP only motherboard.

Appears many are doing what they can to try and help. With power to the motherboard, have you booted the system with only the CPU, Ram, Video Card, and power/speaker attached (no HD) to confirm whether you get any audible beeps?

Also, I would suggest reviewing manual and locating the jumper that allows you to reset the CMOS. I had a strange video problem once and this helped. Typically this will be a 3 pin jumper normally with 1,2 closed, 3 open. You jumper 2,3 momentarily then move back. This will reset CMOS.

  Only run with this hooked up:

  CPU, (no fan or fan cable), RAM, Powersupply  How many beeps now?  If only one beep, add the vid card, and try and boot... keep doing this until you get more than one beep... when that happens, that's your bad part....

  do a google for "POST beep codes" for your motherboard.  It should be listed in the manual under Beep Codes...
