Nothing displays on the monitor not even the BIOS on newly built computer.

Hey all, Newbie here. Glad to be a member finally!

Well I have a question, it's probably really simple that i'm not thinking of but you all know how that goes. Anyway, I've just completed building my PC, and I power on, and nothing displays on the monitor not even the BIOS. The motherboard I'm using doesn't have onboard video, so i installed an e-GeForce 7600GS PCI-E (i'm thinking this is causing the conflict). What should I do/try? Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from you very soon!

Please use proper thread titles from now on. Thanks.

Look at my post below in my signature and tell us your power supply wattage and # of amps on the +12V rail.

BTW, Welcome :wave: !

it is 450W and has 15A

I think i found the problem...The video card calls for a minimum of 18Amps on the +12V line mine has 15A...Anyone else think this is the problem?

Yes, that is the problem...your psu (power supply unit) can't take the card. You need to buy a new psu to have it function. I would suggest a Thermatake or an Antec. :wave:

New PSU, still nothing. Maybe bad video card?
