Try to reseat your ram again, or try to insert it in the other slot.

Onboard vga doesn't have any ram itself it uses 32 or 64 mb of the ram you install on the board.
Meaning that, if your ram doesn't work, you won't get a picture from the onboard vga .

I hope you get it working

Okay, I have reseated RAM, doesn't work.
I tried swapping RAM, doesn't work.
I tried 2 RAMs, doesn't work.

I also swapped CPU + heatsink. Still doesn't work.

Also, the keyboard and optical mouse doesn't light.

Please further help.

At this point, I think you have to consider the possibility that the mobo is defective in some way and that you'll need to replace it. Usually booting problems are due to a relatively small set of factors, and I think most of them have been covered in the existing posts. If the drive, jumpers, RAM, CPU, cables, connectors, etc, all appear to be installed correctly but the system still won't boot, then I'd say you've covered all the common factors, and it becomes increasingly likely that there is a fundamental problem with the mobo itself. Good luck with it -- J.W.

What are your jumper settings?

JP1; COMS, is set to 1-2 (normal)
JP3; BIOS flash protect, is set to 2-3 (short: Flash protect)
JP8 & JP9; CPU freq, is set to 2-3 & 1-2 (133MHz)

That is right, right?

Also, what CPU are you running?

Make sure that when you say, 'normal', it is actually normal and not shorted. One sure way to prevent post is to leave the CMOS jumpers shorted.

JP1:
1-2: normal
2-3: clear CMOS

It is set to normal.

When I swapped CPU, I left the CPU as it is. So now the CPU in my unfunctional box is AMD Duron 1.6 GHz.

If you are running Duron, your jumper settings seem correct to me. Having done what you have done, I can't see any reason why things shouldn't be running. It is /possible/ that a short has formed between points of your motherboard via the case mounting. Sounds annoying, but please check that the mb is mounted correctly. I'm not sure what else to suggest. You might try shorting J8 and J9 to 1-2 and 1-2 (100MHz -- I'm pretty sure that Durons support this speed).

I also tried swapping cases. There is not shorting between MOBO and case.

Set to 1-2, 1-2 (100 MHz), still nothing.

Sounds like you have exhausted every avenue. From what I have read here, there can be no question that you have done everything you can do to check for other points of failure. The problem must be a dud motherboard.

Thanks everyone, you been very dedicated to helping.

I'll have to bring it back to the store.

I've also got this problem. I know that my bios got a wrong flash update and I also can't get it back to work any more. Can some do something with this information? Is their some way of returning the bios to normal?
