Whenever I turn on my computer a receive a "No Signal" error from my monitor. I've tried plugging it into my motherboard's VGA port, an 8600gt and an 8800gts but I get the same result every time.
I have also tried reseating the RAM and the two graphics cards, checked all cables and cleared the cmos (through jumper and battery).

I'm unsure whether it is the motherboard or the CPU, maybe even the ram is fried.

Does anyone have any tips or have any suggestions which component I should replace first?

Thanks alot if anyone can help,
Liam.
 
does your tower power up and just no screen?
or does your tower not power up with no screen?

also, are you using both of those cards at the same time? (please say no if in sli config)

can you list your spec's aswell:
mobo
cpu
ram
ect.
 
No, cards aren't in at same time.
Yes, tower does power up.

400w PSU, came standard with case.
Abit AN-M2 Motherboard.
Nvidia 8600gt/8800gts
3gb RAM
Hitachi 160gb IDE HD
Western Digital 320gb SATA HD
 
check your cable you use (vga/dvi/hdmi/ect) and be sure there are no kinks or cuts in it.

this would be the cheapest fix if your cable is just bad.

otherwise, since you tested multiple video cards, we can rule that out.

could be the mobo with all this info gathered.
im not sure if a bad cpu would cause no post (ive never had a bad cpu before).

try just one stick of ram and see if that changes anything.

sorry i cant help any further.
