to go with his Athlon 4800+ and AMD690gm-m2 motherboard. The new stuff has arrived and its in the new case. He's connected everything and the cpu and graphics card fan spins around.

The only problem (and quite a big one) is that there is no picture displayed on the screen. He says its just a black screen, no beeps or anything.

Ive told him to try taking the graphics card and out putting it back in again


What could he be missing?
 
His monitor is pretty old and is VGA only. The new PCIE 8800GT will only go in the new motherboard and he hasnt got another PCIE card to try. (Just a broken AGP geforce i think)
