Can someone please help me. I've just received all the parts for my new build, fitted everything together, and for some reason nothing is being outputted. I did a test before I fitted everything in the case and I got a signal from both the motherboard and video card, but this time there's nothing. When I start the PC up I get that little beep which apparently means everything is fine, so why aren't I getting a signal?

Sorry to ask this, but its a common problem, check that you don't have one of the motherboard stand off's in the wrong place under the board, this can cause a short and ive even known people to fry their nice shiny new boards with a stand off left behind from the old board that they didn't realize was there.
