Hi,

I just put my new PC together as normal, fired it up.. seems ok so far everything seems fine so I turn the monitor on, green light comes up.. but no picture!!! I really don't know what could be wrong.

I've got the 6-pin power connected to the gfx card, 4 pin connected to mobo and 12pin. everything seems wired up properly but no picture

Can anyone help?

Can provide more info on request.

Spec.

AMD 3700+
ATi Radeon X1800 XT
ASUS A8N-E
1GB Corsair RAM

thanks

I have tried that.

I have also disconnected and reconnected everything.

Tried changing the ram positions from the blue ones to black ones for duel channel.

This only arrived yesterday!! I haven't seen a thing yet from this.

Turns out it is my Monitor. it IS almost 9 years old. I used the converter as the gfx card is only DVi but it would not show the picture. Now I'm using this monitor right now on the other PC and this also has a DVi port. So I plugged it in and same thing, no picture

I did use 2 different convertors and the same thing. Guess thats the problem I had.
