I'm a first time builder, and I'm having some problems with video. When I turn on my computer, everything powers up (including the fan on the video card), but my monitor power light just keep blinking, and there's no picture. Here's what I did:
1. Installed power supply
2. Put CPU/Heatsink on Mobo
3. Installed Mobo
4. Put RAM in mobo
5. Put Video Card in mobo
6. Connected HDD to mobo
7. Connected various power cables.
The problem occurs with or without the harddrive being connected. My system is (all brand new, expect hdd):
Athlon 64 3500
Asus A8N5X Mobo
2x512Mb Corsair Value Select
FSP 400W
WD Caviar 7200RPM 30GB
XFX Geforce 7900 GT

I'm using a VGA monitor with the DVI-adapter. The monitor doesn't show the "No connection" screen, the power light just blinks and there's no picture. Any help would be great...unless you want to tell me my video card is bad, then i'll be ....
Thanks
