M68M-s2P no graphics output

[tazbad]

Have just put together my first machine in six years. I know I have power - fans and hard drive spinning up. I just have no video output from the onboard grahics, which kind of hinders everything else!! I've tried 2 different monitors, both of which I know to work but no joy.Other than a DOA I am clueless. Any help appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

It would help greatly if you could post your list of components including make/model of PSU.

Thank you :-)

 PSU G7 Power Extreme 780w. CPU- AMD II Quad Core 3.0Ghz, RAM - 2Gb DDR2 800Mhz, Seagate SATA 500Mb HD and DVD ROM

My first thought would be that your processor isn't supported by your BIOS/motherboard. Can you post exactly which CPU it is?

[tazbad]

AMD Athlon II X4 640.

You got me thinking that maybe, maybe the CPU wasn't seated quite in properly. It is now and I have a screen :-) Cheers thank you. How can I rate your answers on here?

Regarding the karma, I am not 100% sure but there is a limit before which you cannot give nor take away points. I have a feeling that it is 5 posts.
