problem

[fredjuik]

i just ordered some parts to build a computer, just finished putting it together.
when i turn the power on, everything kicks on, but nothing comes up on the screen. even when i take the video card out, and use the on board video. even when i disconnect everything (hard drive, memory)

i have this barebone kit
and
this hard drive
and
this DVD Drive
and
this video card

if someone could help, that would be sweet. thanks.

the motherboard? wouldnt it not turn on at all?

Sounds like the video card, if not then the monitor? What type of monitor is it?

 

[fredjuik]

well, both onboard video and video failed to work. the monitor works perfectly fine, hooked it up to another computer. i just sent it in for an exchange (the motherboard).

Perhaps your PSU. You have that problem when a board requires the other 4 pin power connector and you neglect to plug it in. The video is one thing that dosent tend to work when you do that.
