Huh? You hear everything running but nothing on the monitor? Connected the monitor to your VGA? Seated the VGA properly?

 

[crazyeyeskiesel2]

yes every thing has been connected properly but the board wont boot into bios area or to any loading screens it just stays at the big e screen...

possible bad mother board ?

Alright, check all wires, check to see if you plugged in the CPU power cable. Take out the VGA and plug it back in.

i did and same result

I think the board is bad though

It could be your HDD that's not able to load your OS. Can you hear your HDD running while turning on your computer?

I'll bet it's the hd. If not, definitely the mb.

Motherboard shouldn't be the cause of anything since it doesn't have the OS.
