A similar thing happened on my EPIA 800, it defaulted to TV Out - had to connect an old 5" Composite TFT alter bios settings and reboot - worked fine after.

Maybe the BIOS defaulted in some weird settings. Try to do a CMOS reset or use an old PCI graphics card and setup your BIOS.

Good luck

I actually had this problem with my Via Epia m900 a few months back. I couldnt get the newest display drivers unless I updated the bios, I did and it said everything had gone through flawlessly. Upon restart the motherboard wouldnt post. I couldnt even get into the bios settings! If you check onthe viaarena.com forums there are a few posts about this situation happening a few times. I ended up writing via 2 nasty emails and leaving 2 ****ed off messages and 2 days later at 8pm someone from god knows where called me back, gave me an rma, and i sent the package to cali, a month and a week went by and I called again asking where the hell the package was and what the deal was. They told me it had just gotten there and would be looked it, 4 days later I had it in my hands, turns out they sent it to tiawan or something- and all they did was replace the board! But hey, I'm tickled pink about the new board. If you arent pressed for time, write some emails and call some poeple and you should be able to get a new board outa them, or atleast some repair so it works again. Good luck!

And connect CRT instead of LCD or vise versa. 1.16 does sets very strange timing for VGA port. Let me know if this works for you, just curious.
