Hello, I am having some trouble getting my new build to show any video.

Specs are:

CPU: AMD 6350 Black Ed.

MOBO: ASUS M5A78L-M LX Plus

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 2GB

PSU: Corsair Enthusiast 550W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

RAM: Patriot Signature 2GB (1 x 2GB) DDR3-1333 Memory

Tried both DVI ports and HDMI on the GPU, and the onboard VGA.

Pretty please help? <3

There are a few simple tests:
Is your monitor plugged in and powered on? (I know it sound stupid but sometimes we miss the simple things.)
Have you tried a different cable?
Have you tried a different monitor?
Have you tried removing the graphics card before using the integrated output?

EDIT: THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FOUND

So it worked with my buddy's AMD 4100 FX no problem, so (thinking it may be a wattage issue), I went and purchased the AMD 6300 FX (6350 is 125w, which the mobo says it can handle, but whatever).

Came back and tried it, and nope! Still gives me exactly the same issue: no video whatsoever. Can't get into BIOS at all.

To address your post, clay:

1. Yes, it is plugged in and powered on, and I know it works because I've used the monitor as a secondary for my laptop.
2-3. I have tried VGA via onboard, VGA -> DVI in two ports on the GPU (via an adapter), and HDMI (via HDMI mini adapter) on a different monitor (50" plasma).
4. I have tried GPU, onboard with GPU, and onboard without GPU using 3 different CPUs (2x 6350, 1x 6300), all to no avail.

I'm beginning to think perhaps this mobo, despite everything on the internet telling me otherwise, does NOT support the 6 series of AMD CPUs.

[strike]Found the issue!

Oddly enough, it was the CPU. We tried another AMD CPU, and it worked. Just got back from returning the old CPU, so cross fingers that the new one works![/strike]
