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?

Try another monitor from a friend or something? That would help minimize the issue.

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.

most likely somethings not normal with the videocard, do you have an appropriate psu for your videocard?

ive tried three different video cards!

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).

thank you for your suggestion because it was the problem. i changed the ram cards and the monitor is working now.

No problem =).
