    I get the POST beep so it seems that it thinks it is OK, but nothing on the display, and nothing on the VGA external. I removed all the RAM and it then gives RAM error POST beeps, then I put the RAM back, and it gives the single short beep when you turn it on to indicate POST was OK.

    Think this is still a bad motherboard? Looks like a replacement is $200 if that is the case.

    Thanks.
