Just installed an used PcChips M599LMR Ver 1.4A All-in-one ATX motherboard w/ 300 Cyrix. This was a working pull. Motherboard powers up but not getting any video or beeps. This was installed in a new case/power supply,with new SDRAM. Cleared CMOS, unplugged all devices (FD/HD/CD), tried SDRAM from working system.
