I just put together a new system for my mom, and am having some issues.
I have everything together, I power it up, and a message comes up on the monitor saying that there is no input signal.

The new parts are Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600XT Video Card, Asus P4P800se mobo, and Sony SDM-S74 LCD.

I have taken the new video card and put it into my system and used my monitor – doesn’t work. I have put my video card into the new system – doesn’t work. I have tried my monitor on the new system – doesn’t work. I have tried both dvi and vga, I have tried an old crt – doesn’t work.

I start up and I can hear the post beeps, HD spin up and everything.
I haven’t put a system together for some time, is there something I am overlooking? Or could the video card and the AGP slot both be bad?

Thanks!
 
Got an old PCI card to test to see if you can get into the BIOS and check your AGP settings?

You could also do a quick reset of the BIOs as well to see if that helps.

Is the LCD known to be good yet?
 
You should list ALL parts, not just the "new" ones.

Not having all the variables, on suggestion off the top:
The power supply got enough juice for the new hardware?
 
no PCI cards, got rid of them a while ago.
I tried resetting bios with jumpers, still same deal.
the LCD does work, I tried it out on my comp.

it looks like bad hardware
 
hmm if you are using more than one stick of ram in that board make sure they match if their in the dual channel slots. Had similar problem on a p4c800 and it turned out to be a ram problem
 
if the DVI port works and the regular one does not, then i'd guess its probably the hardware... OR you could buy a convertor to make the DVI into a port like the other one.

Also make sure you are not grounded out anywhere, I have seen it happen before
