No Signal To Monitor

[dhice]

For Christmas I recieved a 160 GB Maxtor HardDrive and ever since I installed it I have been having problems. It seems my monitor doesn't receive any signal from my videocard, however; it does look like the card is getting power and performing as it should. I tried replacing my motherboard and the processor and I reinstalled windows this past week. It ran well for about six days and is now in the same state as it was three weeks ago, where everything looks fine but does not have any signal to the monitor whatsoever. Any suggestions?


Thanks in advance

Try moving the ram to different slots

could be the power supply. Does the pc seem to be booting ? If you have both an embeded video on the mainboard and another video card, like in a pci , agp or video express slot. The bios may have reverted back to the mainboard video. Leave the pc off for awhile, feel the processor heat sink, then turn on the pc , after a few minutes feel the heatsink again. Does it feel the same or slightly warmer ?

I found this guide to help me in the situation

Codys guide;

1 Nothing but the power supply, CPU,installed on the motherboard, plug your power cord in and turn power on.
2 You should hear a series of long beeps & all your fans should be turning.
3 The board is looking for memory.
4 That tells you your 'board, CPU & power supply are working.
5 Unplug power cord (very important an ATX power supply always has power to it when the cord is pluged in).
6 Install 1 stick of RAM in the first bank, it should be marked either 0 or 1
7 Plug your power cord in and turn your power on.
8 You should get 1 long and 3 short beeps. It will be looking for the video card.

I'm on the next step which would be add the video card, I know it is not my videocard because I tried it in another computer and works fine
