Hello Everyone. I just got a new computer that was built for me in today. Here are the specs:

550W PSU

Asus M2N68-AM SE2 Socket AM2+ nVidia GeForce 7025 Chipset DDR2-1066 PCI.e Motherboard

Seagate Barracuda ST3250410AS 250GB 7200RPM SATAII 16MB Hard Drive

2 x 2GB PC6400 800Mhz DDR2 240pin 128Bits Memory (Super Talent)

AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+ Socket AM2 Dual-Core Processor

PowerColor AX4670 1GBK3-PV2 ATI Radeon HD4670 Chipset 1GB DDR3 2DVI/HDTV PCI.e 2.0 Video Card

LG Electronics GH22NS50 22X SATA Super Multi DVD+/-RW Internal Drive (Black), Bulk w/ Software

CoolerMaster CM754/939/AM2 (DK8-9GD4A-0L-GP) AMD Approved Heatsink & Fan

Microx CSBW939PLBK Mid Tower Case W/550W.P.S Case (Black)

It has no OS yet but plan on putting Windows XP on it. When I hook everything up, everything runs and lights up like normal but the montior keeps showing -No Signal- . If I remove the Graphics Card, I can get to the BIOS screen and adjust the different options. This makes me think the Graphics Card has to do with the problem. Can anyone help me out. Thank You for your time.

Where do you connect your monitor and when?

That board is a micro-ATX and has onboard graphics so if you use an add-on graphics card you should go into BIOS (with onboard) prior to booting with the add-on and disable the onboard or switch to PCI-E graphics. Then connect your monitor to the card and try to boot to BIOS again.

Thank you for replying. I am not to computer savy so please bare with me. I connected the monitor to the normal (Onboard Graphics) hook up. I hooked it up first when I got it in to check to make sure it worked.

Look for something in your BIOS that reads something like "Boot first video device" or similar. Try it in different ways to see if the card begins to work.
