My monitor won't post!

[jeffontheleft]

I'm reviving an older computer and replaced the cracked motherboard
that was in it with a new cheapy PC CHIP K7 M811 (AMD). But when I
powered up the comp, the monitor remained blank and the monitor's LED
blinked on and off. I tried another monitor and it was the same. The
fan on the GeForce card was spinning so it appears to be working.
Assuming the graphics card isn't kaput, what else could be causing the
problem?

Comp Specs:
Athlon 1600 (1.4 ghz)
PC CHIP K7 M811 (Slot A)
GeForce 3 Ti200

You have proved that your SYSTEM does not POST! I assume CPU fan is
running. Power up with just Motherboard and CPU, should beep continuous
series of beeps for 'no memory'. If it doesn't, is CPU, motherboard or PSU.

Have you checked the Clear CMOS jumper isn't set to clear?

Does the motherboard support the CPU?
