hi guys, ive just built a new pc. all parts are brand new. the system boots up but my screen wont boot. i know it works because i have tested it.

is there a jumper/setting i should have for the screen to boot. or is it just a faulty part. the weird thing is ive fitted a graphics card too and it wont run on that either. so ive tried it with and without the graphics card (as it has on board graphics) and neither boots the screen up.

ive also tested the other components i.e hard drive, optical drive and they work fine on my other computer.

ive never used msi before as ive always used gigabyte boards. ive checked all the setting according to the manufacterers book/website and everything is in order. does anyone think i should be getting onto the supplier to replace the board?
thanks
louise

can no one give me any ideas? its a system im building for someone. i just need ideas of what i can do to test what the problem might be. surely its not that hard of a question that no one has replied?

well i dont know what i did but i got the screen to boot. but have posted another topic int he software section because i cannot get xp to install.

thanks for no input whatsoever

louise
