Hi I had a friend put a pc together i'd bought but when I plug the monitor in I get no signal iv tried another monitor and it's the same, is it because I don't have the drivers for the motherboard and no operating system either??? urgent advice appreciated.

a friend came to look at it and with the old motherboard he couldn't figure out y no picture we tried removing the gpu too, with another motherboard the power would not even come on and we had the powercables Inc powerswitch cable hooked up per the manual. guessing the two motherboards are faulty and thus need a thirdddd....
