today i built my new PC.
All the components (with exception to one of the HDDs) are brand new.
Asus M2N-E SLi Motherboard
corsair 800MHz RAM
400gb WD HDD
XFX 7900gt
AMD 6000+
so anyway, i assembled it all and when i plugged my screen in and turned it on, there was no signal. i was hoping to install windows xp but as there is no signal i cant. I have tried using another screen. The motherboard does not have a standard VGA output which is odd, so i cant try booting w/o the GPU as there would be no way of telling if it was working or not. Should i buy an adaptor for the VGA port that the MB has or is there something else inheretnly wrong with my system?
i have tried using both DVI ports on the GPU and neither of my screens (which both work perfectly, and so do the DVI adaptors i am using) and still no signal. I tried moving the RAM to the other 2 slots to see if that made any difference as i have had a similar problem when there was no boot because the RAM was not detected. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I cant think what the problem is as i have tried all to solve all the things i think that could be the problem.
thanks in advance
