Wow thanks for everyone's help, I just happen to be an idiot. Simply tried a different monitor and everything was fine. The monitor that wasn't working does work on my other system so I'm not quite sure what's going on there, but at least all my parts are fine! Thanks again everyone for trying...
power connectors that i have connected on the mobo:
main power from psu
4pin from psu that powers the cpu
cpu fan power
various little case front panel connectors such as power switch, reset, speaker, etc.
vid card is powered directly from psu
I think those are all of the essentials.
Wait one other thing, after I get the startup successful beep and power down the system through the power switch, the system turns off instantly when I press the switch as opposed to the usual 4-5 seconds. Is this an indicator of what my problem might be?
I have tried the other connector on the video card and I also tried an old x800XL pci-e that I was using on my old hardware. No difference. I swapped PSUs just to be safe, but same result.
I'd assume the mobo would be able to detect if the PCI-e slot was busted and would give warning beeps...

Hi,

Main uses:
Ubuntu w/ XP or Vista VM running
Programming/Web Development
Light gaming - Source games/old RTS. I'm still satisfied w/ my old...
Hey BrokenVisage, are you overclocking or have you tweaked anything out? I have a very similar set up and your score is one of the better one's I've seen for our rigs. Have you done anything?
I go to Northeastern University in Boston which is the #1 co-op (internship) school in the nation. I'm currently on my 2nd co-op (out of a required 3) and I'm starting to believe the field is all about work experience (and to a lesser extent who you know).
After getting my foot in the door...
Hi I have a new build that was running great. I threw on a Symantec Anti-Virus Client and proceeded to get http.sys BSOD's. I got the Microsoft hotfix for that and everything appeared to be ok. However now randomly (or at least from what I can tell) my computer occasionally crashes and I get a...
