I knew someone who had the same problem about one year ago. It
turned out he did not have his dip-switches set correctly. Check in
particular the video monitor settings. I have heard some bad stories
about AT&T changing the dip switch usages between rev.s of the motherboard
so you might want to keep that in mind.
