Hi all,

Just finished putting together a new build. When powering on everything seems ok (lights on, fans spinning, HDD spinning, etc.) but I can't seem to get any video signal to the screen (currently connected to a TV as my monitor hasn't arrived).

I've tried connecting via motherboard's VGA, DVI and HDMI connection and also through both DVI connections on the graphics card. All give same results, TV does not pick up a signal at all.

I've tried to reset the CMOS jumper but it hasn't made a difference.

Specs are as follows:

PSU - OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W
Motherboard - Asus M5A78L-M (AM3+)
Processor - AMD FX X6 6100
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
Graphics - Asus GeForce GTX 570
Optical - Samsung SH-S224BB DVD RW
HardDrive - Seagate Barracuda 500gb
Case - Thermaltake Overseer RX-1

Any help offered will be much appreciated!
