Just built my computer...of course theres hardware trouble!

naturally you cleared the CMOS? its common for the CMOS to get scrambled when putting a computer together.

that doesn't really help, sorry. my issue is about nothing being displayed on the monitor, as if there was no connection to the graphics card.

well thats what POST does

how do you clear the CMOS? is there a separate pin cable just for this or do i use a random one?

well, tomorrow im taking my computer with everything to the computer guy. i'll ask him to check it out. if he doesn't know anything lol thats sad....

i dunno what to do then.

you have to plug your montior into onboard graphics & then go into bios & change the primary display adaptor to your xternal graphics card Eg if its a pci graphics card set primary to pci if its a pci X16 then set it to pci X16,Hope this helps

my mobo doesn't hvae onboard video.

well, i gave my computer to the computer repairman, and i have a feeling he's ********ting because of the fact that he said my mobo is missing the 12V 8-pin power supply cable and so i went to buy it at a computer superstore. i brought it back to him and it is taking him forever just to put that cable in...if he charges me like $200 thats ****ing ********.

i dont think he thinks that the mobo or vid card is dead. also he thinks that very small static electricity wouldn't affect the hardware. so wth? is he ****ign stupid or what?
