Plzzzz Help!!
I'm having problems trying to start up my new custom built comp. I put everything together, had some problems getting the fans to start going and some power, but once that was over with i got a new problem... When i turn on the comp nothing shows up on the monitor.. yes, the monitor is plugged into the video card... and the monitor isnt the problem. Did i damage my motherboard? My one friend said that the hard drives werent being read. I'm using my old 40 gb with windows xp to boot it up
 Is that a bad idea? Well if you can really help ,or it's simple enough to reply to this post, AIM if you can help me step-by-stepAIM: SBFootballkid |

dont hear any beeps..
My friend thinks i damaged it cuz he said your not supposed to touch the mobo first when putting it in or something like that.. you have to get out the static, cuz the motherboard can get damaged easily from static |

Usually no beeps is a PSU failure or some motherboard component is tripping out. Make sure your CMOS jumper isn't set on clear.
