Computer turned on but no video on screen, HELP PLEASE?

Post by Radiate »

I recently installed all of my old hardware into a new case and added a second graphics card and a firewire card. I have all of the monitors plugged in correctly but get no video, could someone please help me? I tried plugging them in the old way (the 1st monitor into the motherboard, and the second one into the 1st graphics card.) The new way is to have one monitor plugged into each graphice card. Can somebdy please help me? Thank-you very much!

Do you get absolutely no video, or do you get some up to a point, then nothing? If this is the case you may have to flash the BIOS, I had a similar problem.

Absolutely no video, I can't go to the BIOS, nothing will appear on the monitors.
