So I just did a full revbuild of a PC...I'm having some major issues getting hte display to work...Here's the deal..
My motherboard is a Asus A8N-E nForce Ultra Socket 939 ATX. This does not have a built in video adapter so I purchased a GeForce 6800.
So everything powers on fine. I hear the sata hard drive spinning, cd rom powers up and all..The thing is, I cannot get the display to work. Everything is connected properly. When I plug the monitor in, the screen stays blank and the green led on it just flashes.
The only thing I could think of that could cause this is some sort of a driver issue or something like that..The problem with that is, the hard drive doesn't have an O/S loaded so how the hell would I go about loading drivers and installin an O/S if I can't see anything?
Maybe my theory is completely wrong and someone can help point me in the right direction...
FYI, it is a PCI Express card if that helps at all..
...Unbelievable how I could design data centers but I can't get a stupid video card to work...lol
