I installed a new motherboard into a barebone kit I bought but the monitor does not show. I installed it all used 2 different monitors with 2 different video cards in many different slots and still nothing. I reset the CMOS jumper, checked ribbons and still nothing will appear. the monitor blinks as if theres no connection and im not getting ANY beeps at startup so I dont think I have a fried board. PLZ help asap ty!!

RULE #1 ----> ALWAYS benchtest a board BEFORE installing it in a case

that doesnt help me, What do you suggest I do from here??? Im thinkiing I need a new MB now. any other tricks I can hear that would maybe fix the issue?

"that doesnt help me" Take the entire thing apart & benchtest the board like you should have done to begin with. - place the board on a non-conductive surface - install CPU w/HSF - install ONE stick of RAM - install video card & connect to monitor - connect keyboard - connect PSU To test fire the board, use a screwdriver to momentarily short the 2 pins the power switch would connect to. If the board is good, you should get a display on the monitor & be able to access the BIOS.

THE HSF Had a white goo on it that got on the top of the implemented processor and I had to wipe it all off as I didnt read that instruction. Would that completeley fry the processor at all before it even was used/ and that last part I didnt understand entirely.. . I have it benched on a wooden table and I have it running right now, but no luck. Can you rephrase your last paragraph about shorting the two pins please. Thanks!

Yeah, I did that routine and the monitor is still dead. I can buy a new motherboard tomorrow I think, Should I get another Processor aswell?? Thanks,\
