Just got a couple of parts from newegg.com:

DFI Lanparty UT SLI-DR
HIS X850 XT-PE
1gb PC3200 Mushkin Redline
AMD 64 4000+ (san diego core)
Enermax 600 watt noise taker
XP-90 HFF with Vantec Stealth
WD 36gb raptor

System will start up but nothing will display. I've tried to switch between the Pci-e slots and neither one seem to display anything. tried to switch the dvi port i was plugin it into and nothing still. I've also tried 2 different monitors and nothing still. I am sure the board is setup for single vga use and not sli. Everything powers up when i turn the system on, except nothing is displayed on the screen. I am thinking the graphics card is bad, but i dont have another pci-e graphics card or another pci-e motherboard. The diagnostic leds on the board all go out except the vga one so i am definatly sure its something related to video, anyone has any ideas on what i can do to determine if its the board slots or the card itself. HELP!!! :confused:
 
Find someone in your area with a pci-e card. Also make sure ALL monitor plugs are in correctly.
 
Well i am using a dvi to analog converter because i dont have a dvi cable, but that shouldnt be a problem as before on my 6800gt the dvi port worked like a charm with that converter on. I live on southern connecticut area, if anyone is willing to pull some parts out the bin and test them with me i'd be happy to drive to your house....
 
You may have hit the nail on the head thought.. I've had problems with pci-e and the adaptors.. never had a problem on my agp card but twice on pci-e cards
 
i'm gona go out to compusa and get a dvi cable, if that doesnt work i'll see my other options.
 
went to compusa got an $89 DVI cable and guess what, still doesnt work......anyone else has other ideas? I've run out of them.....please help
