Trouble booting a new m/b

Changed a m/b for my daughter today. A MSI K8M800 with a AMD 2800. All connections OK but after several attempts with one check after another the message on screen is simply NO SIGNAL.

Powers up OK showing red light. Permanent light on floppy. Reset would not work but connections as per book.

I didn't have boot a disc (did I need one?) and the supplier of the original (ABIT board) did not send copy of ME 2000 disc but that is installed. There has been a short history of crashes which is why I suggested that she has a new m/b and CPU.

Any inputs will be appreciated. I have some thoughts on the problem but not wise enough to know which is maybe the right one.

Your help is sought please.
