    alright, heres the situation. I just finished putting together my computer... missing a hard drive cause i had to ship it back since it came DoA. At first the fans would only turn half a quarter, but solved that problem. Now it boots up... but no image. I have a feeling i have a dead video card too. Trying to find a friend with a video card that works to check it out... but also wanna hear from other opinions... And i know its not PSU cause tested it on other computers and it works fine. Video Card is a Evga Geforce 8600gts i believe xP. Just wanna see what the fellow geeks think.. =]

    hmm video cards should usually work, very rarely do they break. but u might be very unlucky.

    Well, no video then most likely video card problem. Just try swapping the card with your friend and see what happens.
