new builder with a problem
i built my comp from the ground up and i am having an issue. the specs are as follows:
-amd 64 3800 -asus motherboard -1 gb of corsair (pc3200) ram - nvidia 6800 video card -antec case w/ antec 500watt ps -wd 160g sata hard drive -and an older soundcard from and older comp everything seems to be put together correctly cause when i power it up i hear everything runing all the fans are moving and so forth, but my problem is that my monitor doesnt seem to be detecting a signal from the video card, it just says video signal not dettected and then the monitor just turns black. so with that problem in hand i cannot boot the comp and get everything set up, any suggestions would help thanks a lot. |

hmmm, does the videocard perhaps need some extra power? Does it have such a "MOLEX" connector on it's board for power?
