I recently just finished building my first build. I plugged in everything exactly how the manuals said I should, although when I went to install Windows 7 nothing happened. I my monitor just goes into sleep mode. I have tried everything to fix it. Different monitor, different slot, and plugging it in and out while it is on. When I unplug it, it says something like, 'please check video cable'. Then when I plug it in it simply goes into sleep mode again. I really need some help as this is driving me mad! My friend says that I probably got sent a bad video card, but I need to hear it from experts!
