Hello everyone,
I have finally bought and put together my new beastly computer, but something is wrong.
I have connected everything as best I can and my uncle, who built his own computer, cannot find anything wrong with the way the components are connected. But when I plug my moniter into the 8800GT, nothing happens. I have tried three different moniters, (2 CRT and 1 LCD) and the best I can get is a "No Signal" image on the LCD. The other two remain black.
I have also tried removing and replacing the card, like it says to do in theTrouble-Shooting section of the card's manual, but to no avail.
The fans all start spinning around, the LED's light up... but that's about it. nothing else happens.
(The moniters all work on the other computer, just fine by the way).
It looks very pretty and all, but it isn't exactly living up to my expectations.
Is it normal for a PC to do this untill the OS is installed? I would appreciate any information anyone might have as well as any advice.
Also if anyone can post a link to a good "How To Build A Computer" guide for noobs, I would be very grateful.
