I have an Asus K7M motherboard that was pulled from a known working system.

When I power it up now the HP logo image will display but that's all. I also can't get into the bios setup either.

I was using a newer psu but swapped to it's original to test that with no change.
I've tried swapping the ram but that didn't work.
I've reseated the slot cpu.
I pulled and reinserted the clock battery and shorted the pins to clear cmos.

I'm not sure what else to try.

That computer it was in had not been used in a while but booted fine the last time it was used.

Can you flash a BIOS image from Asus into the EEPROM? Maybe the POST shows something useful, or even resolve the issue just by reprogramming it.

Any beeps from the PC speaker?
Or get a (proper) diagnostic card.

I've had systems hang on the POST screen when there is an IDE cable plugged in to a dead IDE drive or a drive that doesn't have power. One of many reasons to pull the board and strip it down to the bare minimum when troubleshooting.

Unfortunately I don't have an eeprom programmer.

I get one beep, which I believe means all good. I did get a memory error beep which trying out other sticks but the original one doesn't cause that.

I might need to buy a card.

Currently all that is connected is
CPU - AMD - Athlon 1000 (AMD-K7100MNR53B A) - Original
One stick of ram which is the orignial
GPU - XFX Geforce 4 TI 4200 - I did try the original but no change.

The keyboard is a ps/2 one which I know works.

The Caps, Scroll, and Num Lock lights turn on/off when their key is pressed.
