Okay, I am really hoping someone can help me here....
I am building a computer for the first time. I currently have a Dell Dimension 8400.
The new parts are:
Antec 900 ATX Case
550w PSU
GeForce 8800GTX (This is in the Dell but it's new)
WD 150Gig 7200rpm HD
Samsung DVD/CR-RW
Samsung DVD-RW
The parts from the Dell I tried to use were:
Intel 3.4Gig CPU
2 Gig DDR2 800 Ram
Dell 2005FPW LCD Monitor
Okay, I put everything into the new case. All the cables got plugged in and everything looks great. Push the power on button...all the fans fire up (Antec 900 has 4 fans) and the LEDs light up. One problem...no picture on the monitor. Not even a "No Signal" message. I have checked and double checked the seating of the 8800 card to the MoBo and I know it is getting power cause the card fan comes on. I know this sounds dumb, but is it possible that a Dell LCD monitor will not work with anything other than a Dell? Please help!!!! :x
