When i start my computer up i get a blank screen. There is no beeps at just powers up and shows nothing. I have tried a different Monitor and put all the settings on the mobo back to original but still unsucsessful. The motherboard is a VA-503+. I have just tacken the CMOS battery out and i will put it back in in about 30 mins and see if that works.
Any ideas what is going wrong??
Cheers

30 min?? Why the long wait?

Was it running OK & then you changed some settings? If so, what did you change & why?

Hey,
I got the screen back up and running! I was overclocking a 400mhz k6 trying to get to 500 but it won't go that far. Then i tried to get a 450 to run at 500 and it wouldn't go either. I then tried to get the 450 to run at 450 but it will only go at 400 without the screen blanking out...i know for sure this mobo can handle at least 500-550.
I will post a message in overclocking related to this problem
cheers
