Hardware help

Hello, I just got a new PC and its got no OS installed. I'm planning to use my TV as a monitor via a VGA cable. Ive connected the PC with the TV and turned it on but the TV is receiving no signal from it.

Ive got a copy of Windows 7 and a copy of Linux both on discs ready to install but i cant get the machine to boot from disc because i can't get a signal.

There's no problem with the VGA cable, i know for a fact it works, i think its because its not setting the display to the VGA so it won't show, and without visuals i cant change that.

Any suggestions?

Do you have a 'normal' monitor to try setting up with?
I'd suspect an issue with the graphics card itself so try using the onboard graphics port with the tv or monitor,
just to see if you can get any joy that way,
