So you are using the MBs integrated video chip and getting a screen?

Yup, correct. I just called TigerDirect and they're sending me a replacement video card. Whew.

Thats great news and as ever keep us posted

Man...

I got the new card, and like before the system won't post with it installed. I have no idea what the problem is...

D'oh, I got it working, but...

This going to sound pretty stupid, but I hadn't been plugging the monitor into the graphics card port. It was in the motherboard's input. But now that I know this, it means the first card was probably fine, though I now have the new one and have to send back thee old. Any idea how to handle that? =P

Hey Cmon it is your first build we live, we learn
Go back to post #5 when I suggested trying the onboard video card, neither of us are a genius but I am equally as happy as yourself if the issue is resolved

[Blueshoe]

Thanks so much for sticking with me through it. Hopefully everything will work fine now.

Thanks!
