I have a computer that did work so I change the CPU and video card and now it don’t work. The CPU is compatible with the motherboard, I check and the Video card works on another computer so does everything else. So everything works and has been tested except the new AMD 965 CPU. I can’t get any video so can a bad CPU not even give you video and how likely it to get a bad CPU?

Now my other computer that has been working for 4 years doesn’t work now and all I did is try the new video card on it and now I get no video with any video card. MY RAM and video cards all good so what could have taken down both my computer?
 
When you turn on your system. Do you get any error beeps/lights off the motherboard ?

Also, a list of your system specs would help :)

No beeps and everything is running cpu and Video card fans. I put back my old video cards that I know work. Even tried two monitors. All this happened after I plug in a GTX 650 video card but I don't think the card could of blown out both my motherboard?
 
You say the CPU is compatible with the motherboard but what about the BIOS?

Do you have the right version?

Well it would be hard to update the BIOS with no video?
Everything worked until I tried a new CPU, shouldn't I be able to disconnect everything except for the RAM and Video card and have something come up on the monitor?
Also to make a long story short I think I'm going to go down to Fry's Electronic and buy a good motherboard and drop the AMD 965 in and see what happens.
