Okay....a little confused.
I got the processor today, put it in, everything looks good. I then power on the system. That's it. At the moment, when I press the power button, the power LED lights up, all the case fans go (including the CPU fan), the hard disk seems to be spinning, and I'm pretty sure that initially I hear the floppy disk being check. The problem is I wouldn't know if it is or not. I cannot get a single thing to display on the monitor. Oh, there are also no beep indicators going off.
So far I've tried a few things. I've tried connecting both the VGA and DVI cables to the video card (ATI Radeon X800), and switching the monitor inputs between the two. Nothing. I've then tried taking that card out and putting an old PCI video card in one of the PCI slots. Nothing over VGA there. I then try an old CRT monitor on both cards with the VGA connection. Still nothing.
The fact that there are no beeps when the PC powers on, combined with the fact that I think I hear the floppy being checked, leads me to think this is a video problem of some sort. Any ideas? This is tough after 12 days of waiting for the CPU.
