Right, so im building this PC, its my first build. Everything in and connected, I turn it on, and all of the fans/lights ect come on, but nothing is displayed on my monitor, no BIOS, nothing. I have an ATI x1800xt video card, and im linking my monitor to it via an analog to dvi connector. I really appreciate any help

4-Pin connector is in, there are no beeps

There is no beep, but the audio cables arent in. The lights on the mobo and video card are on, the cpu fan comes on, but still no display.

Sorry for double post.

Check your motherboards manual. There should be a jumper that you move on the board the will reset the CMOS.

I had this problem when I built my rig - my GFX card wasnt seated properly. Are you positive yours is seated correctly?

I just reseated it and its fine. Tried resetting CMOS, but still no joy
