Whenever I boot up my monitor won't come on, I see the light's flashing on my A: drive and CD drive, and the LED lights for my HDD and Power and the num lock, caps lock and scroll lights flash on they keyboard, I also hear the hard drive "whirring" and all the fans come on, so I know it is booting up right, I tryed the monitor and the video card in a different pc, and they both worked fine!... So right now I'm stumped If anyone could help me please please help me, I think it may have somethign to do with the wiring of the power supply, but maybe not... :mad:

I'm not sure what you mean by the 'wiring' of your power supply. Does your graphics card have a separate power connector from the power supply?

Check you video card , Bus drivers , Motherboard's connection to the power supply .. also if u do have a seperate power cord going to your vid card , usually it is split into 2... make sure they are in the right slot ... cause belive it or not if u flip it around it wont work ( that only applys if u have a gaming pc tho ) ... neways i had that problem at my work , and what i did to fix it was just take the vid card out ... dust it off ... and embed it back into the motherboard :cool:
