    What kind of power supply do you have? Is any portion of your water-cooling rig connected to your PSU?

    First off, welcome to Short-Media...

    Sounds to me you need to disable onboard graphics in your bios. or set it for AGP...

    No on board vid and yes the psu is powering the kingwin water cooler and the psu is out cuzz i have tested board with everything from a 300w to a 580w (all psu are p4 complyant) and the vid cards range from a 2 meg matrox pci card to a 64 meg ASUS v7700 Nvida chipset card that recomends a 250w or better psu

    Possibly a shorted MB that only shows up when the agp/pci slots are populated? Did you pul it out of the case and try the same config?

    The question is how do you know it boots fine with no video?
