Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan..

I have ran into some issues while building my first computer. I have gotten all the parts together. Now, everytime I go to boot it on, I see my fans kick on for my videocard/heatsink and some led lights on the mobo. However, I can't get it to display anything on my monitor. I can hear the fans when I power it on, although, it seems much more quiet than a normal PC. I have alot of extra cables from my power supply (data cables and a few others).

I am hoping I didn't mess something up beyond repair.

Thanks for any responses..
 
what parts are you using? does the monitor give a no signal message? How about the graphics card, did you plug it into power?

Try using another monitor cable or use a different input, next i'd check the computer for any cables that might not be in properly.

can you list your system specs please? that will make things easier :)

Is there a guide that I can get that will help me understand where all the cables on the power supply should be going? Mainly confused by the hard drive and dvd writer..
 
I had the exact same problem with my build today. My problem was I had a bad RAM stick. It was almost the exact same ram as yours except a different brand (OCZ)

Try booting with one stick, and if that doesn't work switch it with the other stick. No guarantees though, but give it a shot.
 
Same issue. I heard some beeps when I started up my computer. I disconnected the DVD writer and the beeps were gone. However, still the same issue with no display on the monitor.
 
Go over all your connections - literally every connection.. make sure your graphics card is plugged in all the way as well as the connections to the power supply. If that doesn't solve it, you'll need to take out some parts and just have the bare minimum to boot and see if that works.

Make sure to unplug your powersupply before you go over each connection again.
