I just built a new computer with these specs:
Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4389472&Sku=I69-7500
RAM
Corsair 4GB DDR2
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3228139&Sku=C13-6082
Power Supply
Ultra LSP650 650-Watt
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276573&Sku=ULT-LSP650
Motherboard
XFX nForce 750i SLI Extreme Motherboard
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4316659&Sku=P450-9124
Video Card (Already Own)
GeForce 9800 GTX+
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3738445&Sku=E145-9802
Everything went fine building it, it was actually quite easy. I plugged everything in and fired it up. All the lights came on, no error beeps at all, all fans are running, continues to run without turning self off. It's running like everything is fine. The only problem is that my monitor is not detecting an input. I'm using that DVI (or whatever it's called) on the monitor and plugging into my video card.
I checked the video card and there's a green light on it to show that at least something is happening on it. Also the fan is running. I have absolutely no idea what could be wrong.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Edit: Changed the processor, had the wrong one up there.
Edit: I've used this monitor with this same graphic card before and it worked on my previous PC
Edit: Also no startup beep
Edit: Also in addition to the 24-pin ATX power connecter I have an 8-pin ATX 12V power connecter which I didn't plug in. Is that important?
