Hey guys. I've just put together my new PC. I'm very pleased with it, however, when I turn it on, fans whirl and LEDs turn on but nothing happens on my monitor. It fails to get any input and an amber LED shows. I made a short video to help explain and show what I mean by all this.

Link to YouTube video

I know it's very hard to tell what may be wrong from that, however if anyone has any ideas, please share.

Cheers guys.

no one can diagnose the problem with out a list of hardware .

but chances are you only have one power lead in the motherboard . Theres a second 4 or 8 pin socket by the processor that needs plugging in too
