Please Help - problems with video out on new mobo

[Whiffle]

Urgent help needed please:

Just set up new HTPC with the following:

Athlon II X2 240e
M4A785TD-M Evo
NSK2480 Case with PSU
4GB TW3X4G1333 C9A Corsair Ram (2x2GB)
1.5TB WD Green

I have plugged the thing in via VGA and, upon turning the comp on the picture on screen is all scrambled - just a mess of brightly coloured squares. Because of this I cannot see the BIOS or anything and am completely stuck! - any other problem would be fixable because I could read what was going on with the screen.

I have tried the VGA output on two monitors as well as the DVI-output but I just get the same scrambled screen.

Would be really grateful for any advice as I have no idea what to do now.

Thanks

Sounds like the onboard gpu has failed, can you try another gpu in the pci-e slot, or try running the board external to the case.

Try using the BIOS reset jumper to force a the BIOS to clear completely in case it is corrupted.
