No display when turned on

[Sparky]

My brand new custom made PC doesn't display on my monitor when I turn it on. How do I check and find the problem? The light on the monitor turns on, and the disc tray and stuff works...

Propbaly an issue with the graphics card or your cables. Check they are plugged in correctly.

Agree with Sam. If your not even getting to see the bios screen there is probably some issue with cables or graphics card.
Do you have a built in onboard graphics? If so try that for testing purposes.
If not then you may need to check properly your Graphics card is properly inserted and that if any power is needed to supply the Graphics card that is also plugged in.
Keep up informed.

I do have onboard video and audio. I was plugging the monitor into those ports, not my graphics card. So, I should plug into the graphics card and it'll be fine?

Yea plug it into your Graphics Card and give that a try.

I think my RAM isn't compatible with my motherboard, AGAIN.

They appear to be compatible, did you go on the RAM's site and ask if it would work together?

Uh, I fixed it... My RAM wasn't pushed down all the way... :\

Lol it's usually the simple things we fail at

Always double check and see if everything is in correctly.
