kt7a failing to post
Following a knock that apparently never occurred according to a child of mine
I have a Duron kt7a that emits a single very short beep on turn on and fails to show any video output.
I cleared the cmos and once after this it did post video, but is now not posting again

Any ideas

If I remove the video card I get the long, short, short beep of failing to post video.

Sticking in an old pci video card, it seems to get up and running some of the time, but still not very consistently

The bios does report the cpu running at 56c, this is with the pci card in.

I guess we are down to systematically piddle and swap about with things
