Very odd indeed ordinarily I would think of the video card overheating and
shutting down ( I'm used to seeing some warning artifacts like snow etc) but
if you have tried it another machine and it behaves thats not the answer,
the motherboard is running but not displaying so that makes me think
possibly either the psu is failing to deliver enough current so trying the
psu of the other machine is worth a try and check the connectors ( I have
replaced a number that had burned pins) or the video slot is compromised -
IIRC a number of boards had bus mastering peculiarites which meant if you
placed an addon card in certain pci slots they interfered with the agp/pci-e
sounds possible as the display usually comes up while lesser drivers are
still loading that should be mentioned in the motherboard manual and may
be curable in the bios settings or by leaving the offending slot empty
or maybe there is a physical problem with the video card seating in the slot
a small piece of loose material in the slot can make the connection hit and
miss
I might not have the answer but it gives you some more options to try.
