Actually, your PC isn't working. I suspect the monitor is fine.

Does the motherboard have a speaker connected or on it?
Do you get any beeps on startup? If you take the RAM out do you get continuous long beeps? If you leave the RAM in but take the graphics card out do you get 1 long and 2 short beeps?

Have you got the four pin processor connector connected?

 

I haven't even booted the PC before this, mainly because it has no OS on it or anything yet, I can't even load BIOS though.. It has an integrated sound card, and no the mother board does not have a speaker connected or on it.

I have the four pin processor connector connected. I have everything connected that should be connected. I get no beeps at startup mainly because it can't go past BIOS without an OS.

I'll try taking the RAM out, but I highly doubt that is the problem. I'm pretty sure that the Graphics card works as well because the fan on it works, but I don't know..

Any body else out there, I'll try the suggestions above and post results, but I still think it's something more.

 

No, even with a HardDrive out it should POST (power on self test)
Anyway enough of that.

Pull the CMOS battery, or jumper the cmos reset jumper (refer to manual on this)

Also remove the power cord
And disperse all internal voltage, by holding in the ON button for 30 secs
Put the power cord back in, and turn on

If those 2 didn't work
Remove the PCI-E card and boot off onboard vga (if exists)
Go to CMOS and confirm that your video is set to PCI-E (this is if the onboard works)
Then save and exit, and turn off
Then plug the PCI-E in again
Turn on

Otherwise it's a matter of confirming that the video card actually works with motherboard

Ideally reply back

 

Everything works on the PC. I just can't get it to show up on a monitor.

 

You have the power dongle to PCI-E 6 pin adapter (included with card) connected?

 

Yes I have the 6 Pin connected.

 

Btw, I get the all clear beep, I know the beep code to.

I just wasn't listening hard enough. Heh.

 

You have the card inserted in the BLUE slot?

Do you have another PCIE card you can try? Or even a PCI card?

 

Of course I have it in the blue slot....

Hmm, I don't know. I can probably scrounge around and find one somewhere. ><

 

'Of course I have it in the blue slot....'

Don't get snippy or I'll send you to your room.

 

Nope, the only thing I have is my 8800 and the Amps on the +12V rail are not enough to support it.

 

You've tried both DVI connectors on the back of the graphics card, yes? Now that you can hear the beeps and you're only getting the standard short beep, sounds like graphics card may be faulty or you need to try the other DVI connector as above.

 

I tried both DVI connectors, yes. I even tried the VGA - DVI converter. And that's what I was beginning to think, I may have to RMA it.
