Default "system failed vga test" : Asus A7N8X-E deluxe mobo prob

Hi dudes.

I got a problem with my brand new Asus A7N8X-E dlx mobo.

I've put everything together , meshed my cables.
next day I powered up and I get the POST message : " system failed vga test".

I've put my card (MSI GF fx5600-td128) back in my older pc and it still works. Another,older card (MSI GF4 mx460) doesn't work either.

I cant see a thing on my monitor 'coz the vga card doesn't get recognized. So I cant get into bios.

plz help me.

In the bios (checked with the manual) de "PRIMARY VGA bios" is set to "PCI VGA card". But i cant get into bios without a monitor

Others have told me it doesnt mather what bios is set. As long as there is a card in the pci or agp slot,it should start up.$

grtz

did you try to do a reset of the BIOS?

do you have a spare PCI videocard to test and see if maybe the onboard AGP is broken?

I tried to clear CMOS.
disconnected everything from my mobo ,that I dont need yet.

i dont have a spare PCI vga card.

The bios is still standard.
I just bought it last saturday. I installed everything, meshed my cables.
Next day, i started up and got the POST message.
Since then I've been wandering thru numerous forums and abused google.

nothing found that could help me

Maybe, i got to return the mobo to the shop

that would be the quickest, as they have the material lying around to test every aspect of the motherboard.

maybe try :
- other screen / cable
- you disabled everything, does that mean you only stick to the bare minimum ? As cpu, ram and vga ? Try to disable as much as possible, you only need to go in the bios to be sure
- which psu are you using ?

i disconnected everything that i didnt need :
* front panel I/O , extra firewire and usb ports


i ll try with disconnectig the Maxtor 120G SATA HDD, and only 1 Ram slot

I tried another screen and cable
I use and Aopen H600B "black pearl" case and an Aopen 350W psu

thx for the replies guys

EDIT
I tried disconnecting everything else..... swapped ram into all three slots....
no effect.... still the same error message.

I'm in an e-mail conversation with a helpdesk-worker @ Asus, and they dont know either, prolly faulty mobo = return to retailer

/EDIT

problem solved :

went back to the store and they tested the mobo = AGP slot malfunction.

They gave me a brandnew and tested it at the shop , and it works.
