The monitor turns on...the LED lights on it flash tho...it isnt a monitor problem because i tried with my moms monitor and the same thing happens. Yes i can hear the harddrive and stuff startup but when i turn on my comp. and monitor,nothing comes on the screen...i know my parts arent screwed up because before i got my floppy drive,harddrive,monitor,speakers,etc...when i only had my tower,cpu,cpu fan,ram,vid card,and burner,i tried it with my moms monitor and it posted...are the IDE cables supposed to be connected so the red strip is closest to the power connector?Should i unplug everything and replug everything in and see if it works?Do you think something was connected wrong?If the master and slave settings are wrong...does the computer still POST?
Thanx for your time
