I've done everything I could such as switch mobo, use a different monitor for my problem... basically, nothing come out of the monitor, tho CPU seem to be running jus fine, anybody has any idea why? Just wanna know ur opinions before I change any other things such as video card, or even power supply or my AMD 1.1Ghz chip :p thanx a million!
 
this is going to sound REALLY dumb, but check to make sure the Video Card is Fully in the mobo...it's happened to me before, spent hours tryin to figure out the same problem, then my friend just pushed the card in the rest of the way, and it worked!!
 
Another question... are you sure the monitor works? Never assume a part works just because it's new or was working earlier, even with a different system. Check and double check each part you test. You can easily spend hours and lots of money getting new parts just to find out your monitor was dead in the first place.
Technique I use when troubleshooting, always check the most simple things first. Make sure all connections are good, then test the monitor, vid card, and all, slowly making your way to more and more complex problems.
In school i was the system admin for the vocational school, and in the printing class I would get complaints daily about printers not working, and 9 times out of ten it was either a) not plugged into computer and/or wall, or b) no paper in the printer. It was rarely a more complex problem than that.
