No display on my new pc

[GaiaWolf13]

I already have a thread open related to this, but I figured it'd be easier to start over (first was a little vague). Anyway:

I built a new pc, and my graphics card is a GTX 550Ti 2gb by EVGA. It isn't putting out any signal to any monitor I have, whether by the DVI or Mini HDMI. There's also no onboard display ports, so I'm limited. What should I do? I don't have any other graphics cards to try (I can MAYBE ask a friend if I can borrow his)

Still a little vague, please list the rest of the components which I assume are new.

Sure.

Intel DP45SG
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400
EVGA GTX 550 ti 2gb
6 GB ddr3
Thermaltake 500w psu
Rosewill Redbone U3
PNY 120gb ssd
Seagate barracuda 500gb had

New build, video card I know worked at one point wont put out a display. PC powers on, no error sounds or signals of any type, nothing signifying a problem :/

use one ram stick and take the mb out of the case. see if it posts outside of the case. if not it may be bad power or mb has old bios and does not like the newer gpu. check to see if the mb has the newest bios file on it.

The thing is, I have no way of updating the bios. My motherboard has no onboard video output and I don't have a dvd/cd drive

Odd that this is a new system and you are talking about 8 year old parts, well besides the graphics card which is like 5 years old.

Anyway, have a look at this link for non-POSTing PC's.
