I've recently installed a new system. Working great, no problem with it. The problem i'm having is with my old system.. which was working fine until recently. It's been sitting for a few days, i had it working last week while i was transfering files, etc. And i fired it up today to transfer some more stuff. Except now, i have no video. It has literally just be sitting, not doing anything. And it went from working to not working.

The computer starts up, all the fans spin, the hard drives and optical drives spin up. But i hear no beeps, except for maybe one small very faint beep. Everything seems to be working fine, except for my video.

I've tried 3 different AGP video cards; 2 nvidia's and an older ATI Radeon, 3 Different PCI video cards (some old trident pci cards i had) 3 different monitors, one DVI flatpanel, a CRT, and a analog LCD. I've reseated the sound card, the processor, the RAM, everything i can think of. Still, no video. Can anyone offer some extra advice?

System
-----------
Motherboard: ASUS P4P800 Deluxe
Processor: 3.0ghz P4
RAM: 2gb Corsair PC2700 RAM.
 
Reset CMOS?
If you're getting no beeps at all, that's generally a *bad* sign. Does it complain if you, say, remove the RAM? What about the CPU?
 
Sounds like your motherboard might have taken a crap. Try resetting the CMOS, but other than that it sounds like the motherboard is FUBAR.
