Got a new case and install all my components into the case. I turn on the computer and everything turns on. But the monitor screen is blank. I dont know if the video card went bad, I have a bad connection somewhere or the monitor stopped working.
 
What are the two video cards?

First off, I would try to completely power down, unplug the PSU, wait a few mins and then powering back up.
Then I would try replacing the old one back in, see if you get a post, single beep, ect.
If that's the case, then I'd suggest putting the new card back in, but taking out all non-essentials. It could be a power issue.

I'll admit it has been a while since I've troubleshooted video cards (much less top of the line ones), so it might be a bios-related problem also.

Hope it helps.

Double check the video connections between monitor and GPU.
 
it turns on. Usually when something is wrong you would hear a beep, but there is no beeps either
 
no beep at all? then it isnt posting- power on self test. the first thing i would do is power the sytem down and then reseat all of the components- memory, video card etc. and then try to power on again. if it still doesnt post, go to bare minimum components required to run the pc- cpu, one stick of ram, video card, leave out other add on cards such as sound etc. once you get to that point, let us know what happens... also do you have any spare parts so you can try to isolate the issue? i would also check your mb front panel connections, it may be that you have the speaker connected incorrectly and that is why it isnt beeping. i hope this is some help :D
 
you will get a beep code if your vid is bad or your ram is bad. by bad, i mean anything from dead to incompatible. if your speaker is connected and/or your mobo has a little speaker on it, and you are not hearing any beeps, its prob cpu or mobo. if you do get beeps, check your manual to see what the beep code means. if your board has a port 80 read-out, tell us what it says (two digit led on board). if your board has diagnostic led's, tell us what they do. take the mobo out of case, put it on something that is a non conductor (NOT the anti-stat bag), put in 1 stick of ram, vid card and cpu with hs/f. connect all power connections (my board has four - yours should have at least 2), connect to monitor, and stoke it up by shorting the power button pins with a small screwdriver. no, you will not harm the board by shorting the power button pins. see if you get video. if still no video, you will have to swap out mobo or cpu to pin down which is broken.

edit i just read your sig and see that you have an asus board. thats too bad. but somewhere on the mobo forum or amd mobo forum. there is a thread about setting up this board.
