JackTucky:
I'm trying to get an old motherboard working to make a MAME bartop or jukebox.  When I power it up, I get nothing on the monitor.

The PS starts, the HD spins, nothing else.

I tried a video card instead of onboard video, but still nothing.

Am I wrong to think that the first thing the MB does is start the video?

IntruderAlert:
Do you have memory installed?
JackTucky:
Yes, one stick of memory.   I'm going to leave it "running" to see if the CPU gets hot.

How are you mounting the Mobo?  Place a sheet of cardboard under the motherboard to make sure it is not grounding out.

JackTucky:
No mount yet   ;D   It's just sitting on my desk.  Put some cardboard under there though.  Thanks
