New M2A-VM HDMI, Can't get it to start

Hello,


We just got a whole new system for Christmas in kit form. We've put
together tons of PC's in the past but this one we keep running into
problems with.

Christmas night when we put it together it wouldn't even start up.
Eventually found out that the power supply blew (it was working fine
with its old mobo -- 400W ATX)...opened it up and there were a few
popped capacitors. So we ordered a new P/S, 550W Coolermaster from
Newegg and it came in today. Pop it in and now we have a new problem.

Now the lights come on, the drives start spinning, but no video comes
on. The LCD's we tested it with both stay in standby mode, if we try
to force the monitors on, it will say "No Signal". We've tried it on
two seperate monitors with both DVI and VGA cables and still get
nothing. We've even stripped it down to just the mobo, cpu, ram,
keyboard and monitor and we still get nothing. We've double and
triple checked all the connections inside (this isn't the first
computer we've built, like I said) and can't seem to figure what's
wrong. I popped in an OLD video card (ATI Xpert 98...PCI, it's the
only spare card I had around besides a couple AGP ones) to try and
figure out what's wrong but even that gave the same problem.


If anyone has a clue as to what may be wrong, please let me know. I'm
a bit stumped right now.

Thanks,

Fred
