Hi Guys,

I'm having problems with my system.

All I've got at the moment is power cables to the motherboard, cpu, and 2 PCI-E cables to the 8800gtx.

I turn on the power - cpu fan works, seconds later the graphics card revs up.
Problem is that there are no beeps from the motherboard and no image on the monitor. The monitor light does not turn green at all.

Any suggestions would be great as I am completely stumped

Cheers

CPU - Intel Core 2 DUO E6700 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.67GHz

Any CD/DVD or hard drive installed?
Test the system with just 1 stick of ram installed.
Test again with just the other stick installed.
Remove the video card and see if you're getting any beep codes then.

Did the 8800GTX fit in your case OK?
