I finally finished work on my girlfriends computer built out of parts from my old rig and a few new ones
dfi lan party mobo
amd quad core black edition 2.4 processor
4 gigs of ram
cd/dvd multimedia drive
500 gig new WD hard drive
new power supply 630 watt
old 9800 gs nvidia card (worked fine in last computer)
the rig turns on fine and everything lights up and spins
however nothing shows up on the monitor and the pc won't turn off with the power button.
also if i click the mouse its led just flickers

mobo lights are on fine, switching the pci slot on the video card didn't help, neither did switching the ram slots... however taking out the ram and booting up the ram light still came on but i didn't hear any beeps
just checked on a different monitor, still nothing
Probably isn't getting past POST. Reseat RAM, video card, etc.
Edit: Didn't read thread :downs:
Seems like a gpu problem to me, have you tried testing it inside a functioning computer? (Assuming you haven't used it for some time)
yeah its a video card i got from a friend, he last used it yesterday and it was fine
Of what brand is the PSU?
its a raidmax 630 watt
