Per the topic, I built a *new* system using this motherboard and the following:
phenom II x6 1045T
8gb (4x2) kingston 1333 ram
random hdd to test with
edit: BIOS is the most current version released.
I put everything together, plugged in the vga cable, powered it up and nothing displayed. I reset everything bios/etc and still nothing. Afterwards I pulled an old video card out and plugged it in. The system posts normally with the discrete card installed. I rebooted at this point and got into the BIOS and set the integrated/onboard card to display first, saved the changes and powered it down. I removed the discrete card and turned it back on and still no video being displayed. For the time being I put a ticket in with ASUS but I figured I'd ask here too.
Any thoughts on what else to try?
