I recently built a new computer. This is my first build. The lights light up in the computer and all the fans run, including the CPU fan. The monitor states " no VGA connection." I had to put an adapter on the cable in order to hook it up to an order monitor. I have also tried hooking up to a TV via a regular HDMI cord. Nothing has worked.
I have gone through this checklist completely at least two times.

I have gone through the motherboard manual and rechecked the wiring at least half a dozen times.
I started with a 450 PSU and then tried a 600 PSU. Both were brand-new.
I tried Mushkin RAM first, then tried the lower power frequency Corsair brand RAM next. I tried each RAM by itself in each of the slots. It still would not work. If I take the RAM out, the motherboard speaker produces three long beeps, as expected.
I took the motherboard out of the case and manually started it by using a screwdriver. It started and ran, but still did not show on the monitor. Taking the graphics card out did not make a difference. I have tried connecting the cable to the motherboard as well as a graphics card. Neither work.
I found this build on the Tom's Hardware build forums. All parts are brand-new. I checked the motherboard compatibility and all parts appear compatible. When I touch the power button on the case, the computer powers up. When I wait a couple seconds and push the button again, the computer is able to turn off immediately.
I have taken everything apart and put the computer back together two additional times. I have read all kinds of forums and still can't figure this out. Please help, I'm utterly stumped!
