[mastdesi]

i have a just build this pc. when i turn it on , the monitor light just turns on and then goes off after 5 sec. i can't see anything on the monitor.

i have a asus motherboard. x800 gto 256 video card pci-E. cpu: amd 64 3800+ x2. 1 gb of ram. i have tried my ram from another pc still no luck.monitor: svga "ergo 1280".and i have everything else good. all brand new. this montior works perfect with my other pc with 9250 video card.

On your new system a few questions:

1) Does the system post at all?

2) Is the video card seated properly?

3) If the video card has a AUX power connector, is it plugged in?

4) Do you have an adaquete (350W +) power supply for the new system?

5) Does the new system work with another monitor?
