Hi, i just baught a new computer, part by part.
I purchased a new tower and power supply(500w), a new SATA 3.0gb/s hdd, a new foxconn 6150 geforce mobo, i scavenged a cd and floppy drive.
My mobo sends a signal through the onboard video, but i get nothing on my screen when i put in the drivers cd, i dotn even get the blue screen with the bios, nothing. When i plug in my video card no signal is sent through it. I get one short beep when i turn it on. I have a brand new clean hdd, all the lights on the tower turn on, all the fans turn on, the fan controle in the front works, i'v rewired everythign 2 times. I was instructed to change the jumpers on the mobo to reset the cmos, i moved it and turned it on nothing hapend, so i moved it back and turned it on and still nothing happens. All cords are connected. i have no clue what is the problem. I have all the components i need now its just a matter of wireing and instaling things. i was wondering if i may be overlooking something, i dont know, can some one give me any sugestions (that dont involve changing anything on a screen) taht could help.

i have looked at other threads and saw some stuff about removing the battery, and someone told me i may have a grounding problem.
