I've got 3 PC's. all of which seem to have the same problem. The PC turns on and runs just fine. But nothing happens on the screen. I've substituted every piece of hardware possible, and there are no screws loose that might short circuit the motherboard. Any help would be much appreciated.

Update: I have of course tried with only one block of RAM (and several different brands for that matter). Tried with multiple power supplies as well. Screen is still blank/"no signal" msg).

Thank you for taking the time to reply :)

I figured it out by coincidence though.

I thought I'd try to reset the bios by temporarily removing the cmos battery. However, I forgot to put the battery back in, and voila! The thing works just fine Without the battery.

Go figure!
