Hi guys I have a problem I recently upgraded my pc to this nice new one I'm using now.

I'm trying to get my old pc to work i stole the RAM off my old pc to put in the new pc and replaced the old pc with corsair vengeance RAM.

When I turn on the pc I hear a beep and the motherboards lights are on and the fans are all workibng for the GPU and CPU fan etc. but I can't get the display on the screen???

I have also used my old HDD for this new pc so I replaced my old pc's HDD with a HDD from a windows xp really old pc.

Need help anyone know wtf is going on?

I would check to see if your display ports are connected to the proper ports according to your monitor. (HDMI/VGA etc) Make sure that they're coming from your dedicated graphics card rather than your I/O port on the back of the motherboard.

Well this has happened to me up to several times, and all the times I find myself missing the most important most likely cause of hardware issue. Everytime this has happened to me, the RAM seems to be the problem. Either its not in the right orientation or not fully in place. The ram actually requires more power than many people think to make it lock in place where it should be so I suggest that you look up your motherboard manual to check which orientation your ram should be in either you have dual, triple or quad channel. And also check if it is fully in place.

I hope this helped, as I said I've had the excact same problem and it worked after doing what I said you should try. Good luck :)
