hang10sk8r, do you have a system speaker hooked up to your mobo? Are you getting any beep codes?

Is your monitor cable loose?

Does your video card have the power cable connected to it?

Does your system power up completely w/all your fans running or do they turn off?

What kind of video card are you trying to boot with a PCI or PCIe?

Please let us know so we can try to help you.

its a pcie card, all starts up normally, i checked cables three times there all nice and firmly in place.

OK I assume your monitor is turned on. Do you have speakers hooked up to your sound card so that you can hear when your system has booted into windows or do you have to log on before you get into windows?

It's kind of hard to determine if your system is starting up normally if you don't have any video displayed on your monitor.

Does the green light on your monitor come on and stay on while the system is running?

You never said if you are getting any beep codes during POST.

the best advice I can give you in this situation is to unplug your power supply at the wall and pull your video card out and put it back in to make sure it's seated good. Then pull your ram out and put it back in to make sure it's seated good.

Then try it again.

Good Luck,

N2G
