Do you get any beeps at all? If the memory, cpu or vid card is not seated or deteted properly, everything can boot but leave the monitor blank
--------------------
Making the moderators cyber-sit me is probably a good way of getting my account locked for a while. I know they're busy folks volunteering their time to help others out.It's selfish of me and others who make their task more time consuming and difficult than it already is. In fact I should either chip in and help out or not participate at all. I'm going to do my best to be part of the solution and not the problem from now on.

make sure you have the monitor on auto sense, sometimes if it was setup for VGA and you have it hooked up DVI it will still try to display in VGA. And what he said above do you get beeping noises? may be worth starting it up in safe mode as well could be bad video driver if its a new video card.

The beeps are actually from the motherboards on board speaker. If your not getting anything I would recommend reseating all of the cards

Just reseated the video card and still nothing, one of the slots says Express Gate, should i have my video card in that one maybe?
Its a P6X58D-E ASUS motherboard not sure if it matters what slot i put the video card in.

The vid card will not draw max power until max load.
Cna you take a pic of the setup, showing where everything is seated? Also make sure the memory is in the right spots, if you got a dual or tri channel motherobard there are certain spots where the sticks of ram go.
take some pics!
and if I fix it I get to drive your car ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

What brand powersupply are you running? List the specs of your complete build.
When nothing comes up on the screen strip the computer down to the bare minimum.
Mobo, cpu, 1 stick of ram, 1 video card using vga. Place everything in the first slot. Make sure the cpu, ram, and video card are seated correctly. Make sure the mobo does not have any bent pins and double check to make sure the mobo is not being shorted.
Double check the 4 pin near the top left corner above the cpu is connected. Check to see if the board lights up, the heatsink fan and video card fans spin.
If that all checks out and still does not work you will have to troubleshoot individual components.

I need to connect a 4 pin connect to the motherboard on the top left corner? I thought the 24 pin was the only power supply

I forgot to add to recheck the mobo to make use it's not being shorted. Recheck the the ram, 24 pin main, and make use the video card has power if there is a 4 or 6 pin male side on the video card. Some require more power.

i plugged that in and it didn't change anything. Still nothing on the screen, monitor acts like its not getting a signal at all. There is no power connection for the video card and i didn't see anywhere were it could be grounding.
A bunch of my friends tell me the 530W power supply is not enough for this build, what do you think?
