Help! NO video. Computer powers up, nothing displays on monitor.

ok, got a new mobo, this time it powers up and stays on...but NEW problem...WTF, no video! I have like 3 video cards and 2 monitors, it powers up but nothing shows up on screen. I've tried all combos. The guy at fry's tested and it worked, but now this happened. WTF!

any idea what would cause NO video to show up? And the fan on the video card is spinning, so it has power. I really don't understand what the problems is!

Arrghh, this is such a nightmare.

Try firing it up on the bench, out of the case, which is what the guy at Fry's did I'm sure. If it works, you have a problem with the installation.

I am running it out of the case. Damn it.

Are you getting any POST errors? Check your memory. I had the exact same problem on a PC last week. I was using a cheap brand (PQI) and for whatever reason, the MB would not accept the memory. I reseated it on a number of occasions to no avail. I simply switched out to another brand (Wintec) and was able to get video. Same specs as the PQI, just for whatever reason, that MB (ECS 848p-A) would not recognize it. I am now running that same PQI memory on another PC with no problems. Go figure!
