New e6750 build.. monitor displays 'no signal'

[ussfletcher]

So I just put together my new system it has: Intel e6750
Patriot 2gb ddr2-800 ram
Gigabyte GA-P35=ds3l rev 2.0 motherboard
Antec Truepower Trio 550w
and it will have an 8800gt but for now I'm trying to use a very old (but verified functioning) PCI card.

So the problem arises after I turn it on all the fans turn on I hear some harddrive whirling and the monitor displays 'no signal'.. I don't have any way to swap out ANY of the parts currently either.. I'm clueless..

okay, does the motherboard have integrated video?

 

[ussfletcher]

Nope, sorry for the long reply time.

 

[robisbell]

no problem, how certain are you of the video cards usability?

 

[ussfletcher]

Well i pulled it out of the non-functioning computer and put it into another and it worked immediately.. so very certain

 

[robisbell]

okay. have you tried pulling all the ram and booting, it should throw a beeping fit at you, if not, then it's the motherboard.
also, the 24pin and 4 pin are securely and fully seated on the motherboard?

 

[ussfletcher]

I will try the ram suggestion when i can find some time, if it does throw a beeping fit then what?

Make sure the monitor has the proper connection selected. On my 2005FPW, I can select D-Sub, DVI-D, S-Video, and Component.

 

[robisbell]

then we know the board is fine, if it will give you the standard bees indicating no ram.

 

[ussfletcher]

So whats the next step because it did beep?

 

[robisbell]

I'd reverify the video is functional, and also like bigj said make sure the monitor is set for the right input.
