P4m800p7mb not showing video after i connected it

[Darkpanda]

i have a P4m800p7mb motherboard from foxconn, i plugged everything on
and when i turn it on everything looked fine, fans where on leds where
flashing and everything was ok, but when i pluged in the monitor it
wasnt showing me any video i dont know if the thing is damaged or if
ram memory needs to work in pairs,
cmos jumper is correctly placed on cmos
using a DDR2 512/333 as a memory
any suggestions?

Is the 2x2 ATX12V power cable plugged in for the processor ?

There are at least two power cables, for modern motherboards.

One DIMM should be enough to get it started.

Motherboard manual is here, but there is no picture of the motherboard in it.

Is the video card good & properly seated?
If I read correctly, it says VGA onboard.
Are you connected to the onboard video, or did you add an AGP card?
Some BIOS have a setting to have either the onboard or AGP initialize first.
If no video from AGP, try the onboard. If it works, you can set it to use
AGP instead from BIOS.

well im still using the internal video card, i havent pluged anything
else, my girlfriend was telling me that she might put thejumper on
clear cmos before starting that up, ive checked and all cables are
properly pluged in everything seems to be starting but the video.

I would attempt to boot with nothing added on the board but the RAM and
CPU/heatsink/fan.
No HDD, No Floppy, No CD, etc.
If the video starts and the machine POSTs, you can add components one at a
time to see which one kills it.
If the video doesn't come on with just those components, I would add a video
card & see if it initializes.
It is possible the onboard video is defective.

I just did what u said, i unpluged everything but the ram and i got
the same problem, i tried with a brand new and a used video card and
still it wasnt showing me video, if there a posibility that the ram or
the mainboard is damaged?

It is possible that a bad CPU, RAM or Motherboard would cause the problem.
As I remember, you said the fans spin up and the lights flash, but no video.
Have you consulted the Motherboard Manufacturer's website or tech support
line?
