also no beeps

Just put together a new comp last night

e2180
gigabyte p35 ds3l
7950gt
2x1gb corsair xms2 ddr2800
600w ultra psu
2x old ide hdd

When I press the power button everything gets power and all the fans start up but there no nothing on the monitor
When I turn it on the monitor light goes from orange to green so I think its getting a signal
What do I need to fix? :(

I've already tried reseating the ram
Starting with one stick of ram
Reseating the vid card
reseating the mobo

This is the first build that hasn't started the first try :mad:
 
do you get any beep codes at all? do you have your extra power connector connected (the little 4/8 pin one)?
 
well, remove and unplug everything, except for the heatsink fan, cpu, mobo and pcspeaker. As I said, no memory, no vid card. If your PC doens´t beep then it´s either your mobo or cpu.

All I have plugged in is the cpu+heatsink, vid card, hdd, ram

When I remove the ram and boot up I receive 3 beeps :(
3 beeps when ram and vidcard are removed also
 
Double check everything and see if everything is properly seated. Check the monitor cable connection to the graphics card. Also, make sure you haven't forgotten to plug the +12V connector on the mobo as well as the PCI-E power on the video card if it requires this.

Checked everything
Reseated everything
Still no display :(
 
Hmm.. I wonder if your 7950GT card went bad. You have any other PCI-E card you can pop in?
 
My friend is bringing over his card tomorrow so ill test it then
Im guessing its either the vidcard or the mobo gone bad ;/
 
Man.. it looks like somethings bad. Also, try do a simple PS swap. You never know man it could be the PS for some reason. I had this problem before where there was power running yet, in the end, it was the PS.
 
yep that could be it too..... PSUs piss me off had one die on me tonight on my finances PC
 
I don't think its the PS since I just pulled it from a working comp yesterday
But I guess I will check it tomorrow aswell
 
Turns out it was the video card

Already bought a 9600gt :)

Thanks for the help everyone :D
 
also you should always check to make sure there are no extra standoffs screwed in
