I have just recently purchased a new computor and I am building it for the first time. At first my problem was the CPU and I found out that there was not enought power for it, solved that. Now my problem is that my new ASUS Geforce 7800GT PCI Express x16 Video Card will not send a signal to my monitor. I have tried different PCI Express x16 slot for it (same result). I have tried using both of my single stick of 512mb at one time to see if one of them was bad because I found a forum that said that might be the problem (same result). I have my video card plugged in and securely placed on the motherboard. At this point anyone’s idea I will try and any that I get will be most apperciated. Below is the hardware that I purchased:
