Hi.
I am building a new computer, and have managed to get it all connected and stuff, and am about to start it.
But alas, there is no picture on my computer screen when I turn the computer on, even though I have checked that the gfx card is properly inserted and supplied with an extra 12 v connection. The GPU fan rotates, but as I said, I get no picture.
I have checked the connections both inside and outside the computer, and have re-inserted the GPU, without any better results.
When I run the screen in DVI, it says "check connections", and when I run it in analogue there is just a black picture.
Anyone who has got the faintest idea what this is all about?
The mobo is a ABIT KN8-Ultra, and the GPU a MSI Geforce 6800 GS. Additionally, my PC Case is an Antec Sonata II, with original PSU.
Maybe I should mention that I am using an old harddrive from my previous computer, could it be the thing that's causing all this trouble? I mean, maybe it doesn't want to start because it doesn't recognize the new motherboard?
Thanks in advance.
