Nothing Showing Up On Screen

When I press the power button on the computer I built the fans start spinning and everything lights up, but nothing appears on the screen. It did once, but I installed a CD Drive, and it no longer shows anything on the screen. I have tried removing the CD Drive, with no success.

Specs:

CPU AMD|SEM64 3000+ 1.8G 754 128K R
MEM 1G|PQI 184P D400 MD441GUOE R
MB BIOSTAR K8M800-M7A K8M800 754

Is there anything I can try? I am on my third mobo/processor now, and the second case. I really do not want to have to buy another.

Double check and make sure you did not knock anything loose. Reseat your memory, video card, and power supply cables going to your motherboard.



Try clearing the CMOS via the jumpers on the motherboard or by removing the CMOS battery for 15 minutes.

Check and make sure the monitor is still connected to the video card properly.

Can we have the full specs for this computer. Please list all the parts by brand and model including the power supply.

Follow the troubleshooting instructions found here: Having problems with a new build? Try this. You must remove the motherboard from the case when doing this.
