Can I just ask why are there 2 threads with the same name with the same stuff?? K could you or another mod please move this to Monitors, Printers and Peripherals? As it involves a screen issue.
OP: What kind of connection are you using? VGA HDMI or something else? Also have you tried checking the BIOS for any issues?

the motherboard has on board video, did you connect you monitor to the video ports to the gigabyte video card or the on board video port? | |

Since you said you took everything out of your system.. triple check all connections (power connectors, PCI cards, graphics card, RAM, etc.). Make sure it's all tight / secured in. RAM could be the most common one, as everything will appear to run fine, but no video will come up on screen if one of the RAM modules isn't in tightly. I've done this several times myself.

clear out the cmos, by moving the jumper for 30 seconds, put it back in, unplug the cord, so the power will discharge out of your board.
Come back in about 2-3 minutes, plug in your cord, hit the on switch on the psu.
If you noticed it powers on without signaling on the motherboard with a green led light something maybe up.
If not, turn on your computer, plug in a good ps2 keyboard, if all goes well, you should see your bios screen! 
Next, go to the menu in your bios that says graphic and put it on pci 1 or pci-e slot.
Save in bios, turn off your machine and put back the card, make sure the screw is in but not to tight, that may stop your card from posting up correctly.
Happens with me sometimes, so be patient and try to get it to post up. | |

Not all boards have lights on them - it's a manufacturer thing, usually.
Have you checked all of your connections to make sure everything is secured?
Also, try resetting your BIOS settings to default. Do this by unplugging the computer from the wall, press the power button a few times to discharge any remaining power, and then remove the silver coin battery on the motherboard. Leave it out for a few minutes, and then place it back in, and plug your computer back in. Try turning the computer on and see if it gets to POST now.
You can also clear BIOS by putting a jumper on the CMOS_CLR pins for a few seconds (with the computer off). Check your motherboard manual to find out where these are located for sure.
