Old computer

I have this old computer lying about and i was going to use it as a multimedia server. However nothing is displayed on the screen and im not sure if the bios is loading up. ive tried various video cards and they all wont work.

If it helps i think the bios is made by award (but theres no way of me making sure of this)

Depends on your definition of "old". Most people would say hardware from 1998 is pretty old.
