Well it sort of worked....no beeps or smoke, but no video. The monitor just shows a little no connection icon....So what stupid mistake did I make?

Forget to hook up the cable? :rofl:

Otherwise.....does your vid card require seperate power other than from the mobo? I thought I'd heard of some new ones needing that.

Or the card is dead.

Well, no....triple checked the card, no where to hook power to it. Yes the fan on the vid card is spinning. I even pulled it out and reset it, just to make sure it was in good.

Hmmm.....ummm.....Does your monitor auto detect where to get it's signal from? IE, are you using DVI and it might only be looking for a connection on the D sub?

This is where I say start stripping it down and see if you have one part that is killing it. :-\

ie try with one stick of RAM, video card, add on Hard drive next, DVD next, etc

It doesn't have an onboard video card does it?

your video card needs a second source of power!!!!!!!!

somewhere on the rear edge of the card (facing the hard drives) is a molex plug......

by looking at the pic it doesn't appear to have a plug but i have a hard time believing that it doesn't.most if not all of the new PCI express cards use a second power source.

Well I picked up a pci vid card and it didn't work. So I unplugged EVERYTHING down to 1 stick of ram and I had video. It booted and said something about a Bios problem/needed updating or something....I only had about 10 minutes before we had to leave for a graduation....But at least I know it works now....just got to work through it now....
