Pull the vid card and re seat it, do the same with the ram. Try the ram in a different slot. Be sure you hard drive is jumpered correctly, I would set it to cable select.

I cant tell from your post but I think you have the power issue corrected, right?

If the LEDs don't work, take the connector and flip it around 180 degrees and try again.

Is that video card compatible with that motherboard? If it's an AGP2X card, it's probably not, I believe all NForce boards only work with 4x and 8x cards - it's a voltage issue.

Okay - then that's not an issue - it's only an issue with AGP. Follow Cricket's link.

so i cant use a pci video card for first boot and cricklet link ?

Sure you can - any PCI video card will work. I'm just saying that there are issues with AGP card voltages. In fact, if that board has onboard video, just use that. If it does, the onboard Nvidia is worlds better than that old ATI PCI card you have.
