Its very strange, everyone keeps talking about the same problem on the
KM4M, yet the only fix so far as I gather here is to CHANGE THE POWER
SUPPLY UNIT. The PSU works fine with other mother boards/CPU, but not
with the MSI KM4M.

I am going out to get a new PSU now, will let you know if it really is
the PSU or was this just a guess. My PSU is fairly new, less then 2
years old. I have 2 spare PSU with the P4 4-pin jack mentioned here,
both did not manage to give me any video, but CPU fan were spinning
away and there were no beeps.
