Okay. I built my computer, started it up for the first time, and it worked. I changed a setting in the bios so that it would boot from CD, and then turned off the computer. I turned it back on, and the monitor would not display anything as it was 5 seconds ago. I tried reseting the bios settings with the jumper switch, but it did not help.

I know the computer is still turning on, because the speakers make a blip, I hear the HD engage, and the DVD Drive light blinks.

Does anyone have any suggestions to what I could do next? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Have tried to remove & replace the RAM? Sometimes if you touch them they may need re-seating.
I take it that you have not installed windows yet?
