Okay, so I got all my parts for my computer like two weeks ago, but a day Later I went on vacation. I got back yesterday, and put together the computer, with lots of caution and care to every part. When I finished, I powered it all up, the fans went on, leds, and everything. I noticed, the Screen was just blank...... The power was on, because the green led on the bottom of the screen was lit. So i thought maybe it could be the ram, so I tried them in different spots. Nope, So i just put them back to the normal spot. ANd thought the video card was the problem. Remember I have an ATI RADEON 9600PRO. THe little fan on it, was running, I could feel some air comming through. So i turned the computer off, and put in my really old gateways video card that goes in the PCI slot. The moniter turned on, and I was able to succesfully install windows xp corp/professional. Everything runs great and Im loving the gig of ram. BUt I want to know whats going on with the 130$ video card! I was at my friends, and he put my RADEON 96009PRO In his custom built computer, and same problem with him... blank screen. Is the Card dead or what? Is there something I forgot to activate it, or like do I need to installs drivers for it or something to make it readable??
