Yesterday, I bought a new motherboard, ECS K7S5A Pro. I connected everything correctly. When I turn on the computer, everything boots, but there's no display on the screen. It turns on for a few seconds and then switches to standby mode. The lights on the two cd-roms(DVD-rom and Burner) lights up for several seconds, goes out, and then comes back on, constantly. My friend told me to clear the CMOS and I did that. When I turn the computer on after this, the lights on the cd-roms lights up, this time the DVD-rom flashes and the light on the burner just stays on. It does this repeatedly. One thing I should also mention is that when I start the computer, there is no beep, but everything seems to be running fine. I am thinking that it could be my video card because my friend said that it was too old. The one I'm using and has been working before is NVIDIA TNT2 Model 64. Since there's no video and everything else seems to be fine, then I'm thinking it could be the video card. But I definitely need help and need someone to verify this. Thanks.

I would go to the site for the video card and see if it is compatible with your motherboard or vice versa. GoodLuck.
