We've got no graphics after swapping out the CPU, and installing new RAM. Fan running but no signal detected.
I gave the fan a little 'clean'. Hoping that's not what's done it.
Great full for your insight
CPU q6600
Mainboard g31m v4
CPU, Mainboard, bias are compatible
Gpu is ATI
Ram Samsung ddr2

(edit: spec that I forgot to include last)

Verify you seated the CPU correctly and look for bent pins on the motherboard. Also, verify the RAM sticks are seated correctly. Do you hear a POST beep? If you hear several beeps or no beep, these are indicators that the memory or CPU are not installed correctly.
