Sorry I didn't provide further details. Let's go then: I've got this MB from another person and he told me: "It's yours, Enjoy !" and told me about the above problem. I've removed my working PCI video card from my computer, pluged it on the deffective MB and started it. Nothing. Then I removed the PCI card, inserted a ISA Video card, and Voila ! Images on the monitor ! I believe that other PCI cards won't run as well, though I didn't connect any network card, for instance, to see if FBSD detects it.
