No..
Video card is after POST..this is tough one but requires that you understand what really happens before the POST begin.
Remember his situation there is no POST or any beep. So what happens before POST.
Why wouldn't his computer go through POST if the powersupply is working.

OK here is one
Timmy got a new a 80g hard drive. He runs a windows 98 OS. He connected the hard drive in as the master. (He didnt want his old HD) So he put the boot disk in and got into fdisk. He chose for "larger disk space" & "maximum allocation of disk space" and created a primary partition. It only opened up 31.1g of HD space? What did timmy do wrong?

Nope, new motherboard so lets assume everything on the board is set correctly.

I guess no one will answer it, the problem was with the CPU. When the power is first turned on, the system clock begins to generate clock pulses. The CPU begins working and initializes itself, it then turns to memory address FFFF0h, which is the memory address always assigned to the first instruction in the ROM BIOS startup program. The instruction directs the CPU to run the POST tests.
Timmy didn't realize he had a new mother board using his old parts (the CPU) which is uncompatible, even if it fits, the power voltage level did not match so the CPU can not start. Thats why when you get power to the fan and there is no POST, beeps or visual it's usually the CPU. In Timmy case since he has a new working MB than it's the CPU.
