I removed my mobo to add 2 more standoffs as my case didnt have 9, only 7. I put everything back together after doing a tiny bit of wire cleanup as well, and now I dont get any picture from my monitor. I unplug the cable and it says cable not connected, so its not the monitor. It can only be one of two things, the mobo or the gpu, right? Tell me what you think.
 
Are you getting any beeps from the mobo? Can you hear it post as normal? Are your optical drives lights staying on? Try resetting your ram.
 
check to see if your graphics card doesn't have any dust on the connectors in teh pci/agp slot, also make sure no static electricity has gone through any of your pc's components, also, plug all of your cables into the exact same place you took them out of and last, put everything back teh way it was before you started and seeing if anything works
 
Never hooked up the internal speaker when I built it. I wouldn't know what a normal POST sounds like. There was next to no dust in the computer. Its less than a month old and I have some decent filters on it.

Cables are in the exact same spot. The only thing that changed was a round IDE cable from a flat IDE and I re-routed some cabling to make it look cleaner.

The only diffrent thing about the standoffs was I added the red dohickeys on the mobo/standoffs, whatever they are called.

Just to double check, they go on the top of the mobo, under the screw obviously, not under the mobo right?

Usually one quick beep is a normal boot. And a beep beep is a memory error. So I'd check your mobo manual for beep codes. I'd say atleast that your mobo is fine, or it would not beep at all. Maybe disconnect that round ide cable from the board and unplug that drives power, and see if she boots. And to answer your question on those red washers, I'm not sure, never used them. I'd do it the way you did it though. Should be fine.
 
I googled your board and beep codes. Came up with this page.http://forum.ncix.com/forums/index.php?mode=showthread&forum=101&threadid=1113845&pagenumber=1&product_id=18885&subpage=1

So I'd try one stick at a time in different slots. Also is your video card's power plug plugged in?
