New PC Issue - Maybe Mobo?

[Boypdp]

I have recently recieved a Foxconn barbones system from newegg with a WinFast mobo. I got 512mb PC2700 Kingston ram, a 2600+ Barton, a 120gb seagate ata drive and a cd-rom.

When I boot the machine I can hear everything start up, the drive, the cd rom and the fans all spin. However, I recieve no video output and no beep codes. I tried using an AGP video card with the same results.

From this can I suspect that the motherboard might be bad? or could it be the CPU?

Thanks for any info. And if this is too vague let me know.

sounds like the motherboard, usually its its the cpu it spits out some beep codes

I just swapped in another CPU i found laying around, a 1700+ xp and it booted just fine!

Now I have to see if this guy I got the CPU from on the FS/FT forums will give me a refund.
