I have a new case and I have put in a new motherboard, RAM, powersupply and Processor. It seems to power up but I get no video. The screen just stays black. But if I unplug the monitor cord it says check for signal and then I pluf it back in and it goes away which would make me think the video port is working. Any suggestions?:confused:

Yes, try what shadow posted. If you still can't get it to work, post back here.

If there was a problem with picking up the video card, the BIOS would beep while in the POST. Try plugigng in your monitor into a pc you know that works. it could be a problem with your monitor.

Any suggestions?:confused:Please post your complete system specs for this computer. List the parts by brand and model including the power supply.

Do the out-of-case-troubleshooter that shadowpr provided a link to in his post. You must remove the motherboard from the case when doing this...you're trying to determine if the motherboard is shorting/grounding out to the case or not.
