Pull all your RAM, just to be on the cautious side, install a CPU, power up and *before the start-up chime finishes* do the cmd-opt-P-R key combo. This will bypass the NVRAMrc file which is likely the cause of your problem. OSX is a great tool for corrupting NVRAM contents. Hitting the "zap-PRAM" combo during or just after the chime operates a little differently than a normal PRAM zap. If your video comes up, you can then start adding components back in and let it boot from a disk. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
