So I was having this problem last week on my old computer, in which when I hit the power button nothing showed up on the monitor. I figure maybe the monitor is dead, I tried 2 different monitors and its the same thing. So I went and got a BFG 9800 GT, plug it in and the same thing.. so I figure poop it, and buy a new mobo, cpu, psu and ram.
Just plugged everything in and what do you know, nothing is showing up on the monitor when I try to start it up. Ive made sure connections are good, tried swaping monitors/GPU's with the new mobo and nothing seems to work.
Also, the heatsink that came with my CPU is pooped. The fan will start spinning for a split second when I hit the power button then it dies.. perhaps a sign of something else going wrong?
help appreciated
