[QUOTE="AcidicDreams, post: 1740656, member: 558974"] ok... your getting alot of random "advice".... first off alot of things can cause it to come on and not POST.... if you have the case speaker hooked up you'll get beep codes for some problems but not all.... even having the IDE channels hooked up wrong has caused this for systems I've built.... other's could be the CPU, RAM, etc etc etc.... Here is what you should do to troubleshoot this problem.... Open the case and remove ALL the hardware EXCEPT the MB, CPU, CPU fan, VC, RAM, and the boot HDD.... try booting, if you get the same problem borrow the VC out of the other computer to test the VC... continue this until you get it to boot... also DOUBLE check you monitor connections.... another tactic would be let it run for a bit and turn up the regular computer speakers... if you can hear windows boot it's not the VC or anything... it's just the connection/monitor.... As for a brand either will do... decide WHAT you are going to do with your VC before you buy any of them... ATI and Nvidia both make great cards but it really comes down to price and what exactly you want to do with it that will make your decisions feel free to PM me if you want someone to walk you through troubleshooting or post here more...
