I got a new motherboard and put everything together, but my monitor stays on sleep or gets no signal...anyone have any ideas?

The vid card is plugged in and is connected correctly to the mobo.

Can it be the fact that the lcd monitor has that Digital plug...should I switch to analog?
 
noo...i'm saying I put the vid card in properly, but the monitor isn't getting a signal.
 
If your mobo supports onboard video, it might be defaulting to starting that device instead of the video card you installed. Find a regular old monitor with a VGA connector on it (not DVI) and then attach that to the VGA connector on the mobo - again this assumes you do have onboard video.

That should at least get you into a working state where you can see what's going on. If that doesn't help, try another video card, anything you can find and give it another shot with the analog VGA monitor.

i'll give that a try...my monitor supports both, so i'll try analog connection instead of digital with that.
 
POST = Power On Self Test. The BIOS screen that appears on your monitor, ram test, etc. If you don't see any thing on the monitor and don't hear a single beep it likely not posting.
 
What are your specs?

Has this system ever worked since you have had it?

Are all your power cables plugged into the mainboard?

Is the CPU seated correctly?

Can the PSU you have handle the current system?

Is this just a new MoBo or where other parts purchased?

Have you tried stripping it down to the basics? (1 stick of ram, 1 V-Card, CPU, Board, PSU (these ONLY))
