Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum, and I recently decided to build a PC for the first time. I powered it up this afternoon, and I get no video output - just black screen. My troubleshooting so far has been to check all connections, swap monitors, and swap video cards (these last two from my other computer). I'm booting with a Windows 98 Start-Up disk in the floppy drive. When I power up, there is one long beep followed by two short beeps (indicating a video problem), then I can hear the floppy drive access the disk, but nothing happens, and there is never any output to the screen. My components consist of an Antec SX-635 case with 350W p/s, ECS P4ITA 'Socket 423' board, P4 1.7 GHz processor, 512 MB RDRAM, and ATI Radeon 64 MB DDR video card.

Any Ideas?
