    New build wont show on monitor

    Basically built my new pc, everything worked apart from the graphics card (evga gtx 260 216) wouldnt do anything, having posted on here and got it working (fan now spins)

    However i still cant see owt on the screen when i power it on.

    CPU: i7 920
    Mobo: p6t deluxe
    Graphics: evga gtx 260 216

    anyone got any ideas what could be wrong, already tried a bare bones test and i havent got a 2nd rig i can test it on.

    *edit no beeps from mobo

    Full specs will help us.

    I'd look at the PSU/Power Connections, got the power cables connected to the card? (If required).

    Tried another monitor? Does the power LED turn on? Does the HDD activity light stay on/flash regularly?
