I just finished building my new computer yesterday, and the only thing that I didn't install was the RAM, which is coming tomorrow. Well anyways, when I turn on the computer, the system starts, but nothing displays on my monitor, its just black. Is this because I didn't install the RAM, or is a video conflict?

Yeah, it's going to need the RAM to get rolling. When the system POST's, it sort of "unzips" its BIOS code into RAM and goes from there. Hang in there and watch for that FedEx truck :D
