the current specs of my first build are as follows:
cpu:
amd phenom II x4 955 black edition
ram:
4 GB (2 x2) mushkin ram
power supply:
raidmax 730 watt power supply
mother board:
asrock 870 extreme 3 atx motherboard
graphics card:
sapphire radeon 6850
dvd drive...sony...
hard drive...1 terabyte hard drive
case:
Rosewill CRUISER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Panel Window and Four Fans
now here's my problem:
i have everything connected, all the fans work fine (on cpu, graphics card and case as well)
I connect it (either through a vga/dvi connector or hdmi)....i press the power button (on the case)...everything turns on...but i see nothing on the screen.
I have no operating system on the hard drive, I wanted to put one on there, but since I can't get to bios or see anything that's kind of impossible.
I made sure my ram was securely in (it is)...and the graphics card appears to be surely in the motherboard (the fan on it runs)
I can't figure out what I"m doing wrong....
