What are the possible problems when the monitor won't pick up a signal from the computer? I checked to see if it was the monitor by trying a different one. Also, the led light on the video card is green so I think that means it is working. It is a 9800 gtx and has some sort of 2pin connector seems like a motherboard connector? Take note that this computer is freshly built and haven't even gotten able to put an o/s on it. Btw, build info in sig.
 
ok so you have hooked up the monitor to a different computer and it works fine?
 
Yep, just did that now. It works fine on the computer im using right now.
 
Did you plug in the EATX 12V connector on the upper left corner of the Asus P5Q Pro mobo? Also, make sure you have everything seated properly in place. Also, turn off PC and try clearing the CMOS. Also, did you remember to connect the 2 x 6 pin PCI-E connector to the 9800GTX video card? The 2 pin male connector on the side of the video card is for the audio. There should be a loop back cable included with your video card. You connect that to your sound card so that there will be sound carried through the DVI port to the DVI-HDMI connector. This way, if you hook it up to your LCD/TV, there will be sound carried on the HDMI cable to the TV.
