the HD Audio + AC97 are audio connectors, they're not going to affect your monitor not displaying anything.

Very hard to tell from the images whether youve got the power cables connected to the graphics card, though as far i know (may be dif for ati) it should beep complaining about this. Maybe try a different pci-e x16 slot?

hi i have the power cables hooked up the graphics card ok...the fan whirrs etc...do you think i need to get a cable to hook the monitor up directly from the mobo?

is it usually through the graphics card that the monitor is hooked up?

the sound for the post beep...does that come with the wires for the front stuff like case led/hdd led etc?

thanks

Isnt the gemeral rule if you only have to one GFX card its plugged into the slot nearest the CPU?

nothing mental...4890, 4 gig reaper 800mhz, e6600 cpu - which i plan to overclock to about 3ghz/ and thats about it really, a crap gigabyte mobo and a 580 watt psu...although depending on how this computer goes i am going to go cross fire soon with a better mobo...thanks for the tips!
