850GB + P4/1.5GHz => No boot / no video

Hi

Fresh new set of a bit out-dated set of Intel 850GB mainboard with P4 1.5GHz
won´t do simply anything, no boot, no POST beeps, no video.
I have tried to play with bios jumper too, no help. Power is okay for sure,
drives and fans are getting power too.
Actually, fan connector for processor (between rimms and cpu) does not give
any power but the connector for case fan (top corner of board) does !

Green led on the board works. Power button and power led works, drives are
started when button pressed.
Currently I have removed everything except 4x64MB identical Samsung Rimms
and cpu itself and inserted good-old S3 Trio PCI display adapter.
Mainboard is loose and sits on a big fat envelope on the table so no
shortcuts to case for sure ! (Okay whole computer was first assembled but of
course not lucky enough for the first time)

I am lost. I just won´t accept that it is broken, after so many DIY PC´s
this would be first one...

Does this motherboard need the additional 12 V ATX power connection?

Yes, as P4 mainboards usually does, there is totally 3 different
connections/connectors for atx power.

PCI video card. Possible to enter bios configuration setup or force entry
into bios setup? May need to set bios for PCI card vs. AGP card. Can't
remember --- it has been some time since last setting up an Intel mobo.

Well that could be true, it just that I don´t have available any newer AGP
card fitting to 2x/4x 1.5v connector => need to get one !
Thanks for tip.
