Black Screen on Boot.

I built the following machine:
Case/Power Supply

Mobo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128047

Video Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...adeon%2b2900xt

Other

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152085
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151141

I turn it on and I see a black screen. Nothing. The GPU CPU Case and PSU fans all turn on. The lights on the front turn on. The hard drive is running, the opitical drive is on. I have a monitor that I know works hooked up. Just a black screen. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any help.

You've got a 512mb Radeon 2900 XT, suitable for crossfire, in a dual video card motherboard that you're trying to run with a Rosewill 400 watt power supply.

The power supply is not on the PCMech approved list : http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=131195

Get a power supply from the approved list of at least 500 watts but preferably 550 watts.

herr mantas, please start your own thread. Be sure to try the link in Cricket's post and include the results. We also need your power supply brand.
