Got my shipment from Newegg, built it last night and have been unable to get a video signal. Specs are as follows:
AMD FX-51
Asus K8V mobo
Asus Raedon 9800XT
4x512mb Corsair XMS
Thermaltake Xaser 3 case/PSU
2xWestern Digital Raptor
2xSeagate 120GB
Lite-on CDRW
Plextor DVD+/-RW
Samsung 3.5 drive
Card is firmly in the slot, everything else appears to be in working condition from what I can see and hear (Kinda had to know much without being able to look at the monitor). The fans on the Raedon are running when I power up (As is everything else). No beeps or funny LED light codes from the mainboard. Unfourtanetly I don't have another card to try out to see if the Raedon was DOA. I'm thinking about RMA'ing it but I want to make sure thats what it is before I do it. Is there a way to check for output from it and stuff? With a test light or something perhaps?
I have to leave town Thursday and would really like to be able to get the system going or alteast know whats going on for sure before I leave. I have already contacted asus via their support forum, not much luck there yet other then a suggestion to flash my bios (Kind of hard to do when you can't see what your doing). Any help really appreciated.
