Happy to help, if the motherboard ends up being a paperweight at least you can look forward to building/buying a replacement at some point. 8)

Ohjrson,

I took memory out and unplugged hard drive and nothing. Do I need to take the CPU out as well?

I'm pretty sure a motherboard should be able to boot (to an error) with cpu only, no video card or memory. The error should be beeping, just not sure if the sound is generated from the motherboard or it needs one of those cheap speakers with a wire plug to the motherboard.

So I am thinking that the AGP slot is done... I just wondre if the PCI slot will work..

I agree, after three different video cards, that the AGP slot is probably broken. As for the PCI route, sure give it a try if you have one.

A long shot idea. Most motherboards can be reset with a pin/jumper configuration. Take a look at the manual (download if necessary) and see if you can reset the board. Doubt it will work but strange things do occasionally work.

How about a link to your computer specs with a review?
Since we do not even know if it is a Desktop or Laptop.
More info benefits you.

Yeah, Thought of that. I took memory out and unplugged hard drive and nothing. Do I need to take the CPU out as well? It does not have built in video so That I know I have to leave in.

Hi Ohjrson,

Let's start the troubleshooting here:

Quote
When I try booting up the computer I get nothing, no beeps no whistles, nothing, just the sound of the fans blowing air.

The first step would be to get just the motherboard to boot to the point you can enter the BIOS/setup untility. Remove all the peripherals - unplug CD/DVDs, unplug hard drives, if the motherboard has built in video, remove the ATI video card. The motherboard should have memory, cpu, video (built in preferred), and power.

Can you get it to boot like this?  If so, start adding the peripherals one per boot until you find the problem device.

Ok here is my issue. I have a MSI computer that has an ATI Radeon 1600 video card in it. When I try booting up the computer I get nothing, no beeps no whistles, nothing, just the sound of the fans blowing air. Normally, ( or before this issue.) When it booted up I would see bios flash etc... I don't even see that any more. I have tried three different video cards to see and nothing. Am I looking at a video slot failure here or what? I know the monitor is good as I have it hooked up now and it works fine. ANY suggestions or help would be great....p.s. All was working fine before with Beryl...now?... i just dunno....
