 |  New build monitor not working i put everything together last night and everything was working last night and this morning i went to turn it on and all the fans and lights were working but the monitor is not turning on. so i thought it was the video card but i have two other ones in my other computer so i tried to put those ones in but still the monitor is not working. any suggestions on what to try? |

| Re: New build monitor not working If you have a laptop, try plugging your monitor into that. I have a friend with a similar situation.... She got a virus instead, ha. Strange huh? Her video was flaking out due to some worm. Reformat fixed it once we put the Windows discs in there. That's a long shot though.

| Re: New build monitor not working most likely somethings not normal with the videocard, do you have an appropriate psu for your videocard?

  | Re: New build monitor not working Did you plug in the 6pin PCI-E plug into the card? Edit: also, make sure that your RAM is seated tightly. That happened to the last build that I did; didn't have oneof the RAm sticks in tight enough, and it wouldn't boot (besides fans etc coming on).
