I just built a new computer for myself. I finished the project last night, hooked up a monitor and booted and installed Windows XP. I shut down the computer. WHen I turned it on this morning, nothing came up on the screen. I've tried 3 different monitors, re-seated the video card, disconnected everything from the motherboard and reconnected to no avail. I can't even boot to an error with all the hard drives and optical drives disconnected.
I'm going to pull the Video Card tomorrow and stick it in another system to rule out a defective video card. Does anyone have a suggestion for what I should try if the video card works?
Thanks,
Brian Blair
