Have you got the monitor switched on (is it on a supply from the box, or from the wall?)

First suggestion would be to check your video card in another machine or check a different video card in your machine.

What are the exact error messages?
Has the monitor been tested on another system?

It sounds like it could be a ton of different things...That may be why you are getting the runaround here. You are going to have to troubleshoot with some new parts if nessessary.Quote:

Possible causes:
Bad Powersupply
bad Motherboard
bad Card, video, network
Start by removing everything you don't need, but leave in mem, CPU, and video. You may need another Video card and one stick of new known good memory to test with as well.
If you have a power supply, try swaping that out.
It boils down to: you will need to take alot of different steps to narrow down the problem. If nothing changes after all of that has been tested, could be the MoBo...
