Did I kill my motherboard???


Hi. I have an asus a7n8x-x mobo that just won't boot. Well, I think it boots but there is absolutely no video. I'm almost 100% positive that the video card works b/c I have an identical motherboard that I have tested it on. The fans spin up and it beeps but the screen stays absolutely black. My monitor won't even come out of standby mode. I just turned it on one day and it didnt work. I did manage rh9 to boot up once but then it froze and never worked again. I have tried reseating the cpu, replacing the ram, and resetting the bios. Thanks in advance

Jake

when it beeps dose it do once or multiple times? if so you should check your mobo's manual for the error code so you can figure out what to do next. good luck

Well, it stopped beeping. Maybe I just don't have the speaker hooked up right but I'll check. Also, when I plug the psu in it just turns on w/out me pressing the power button, and I can't eject the cd drive even though the light blinks and I can hear it spin. I have replaced the psu. Thanks!
