i dont know if this has been cover'd in a previous post but im gonna ask. On first boot of a new computer that i have built, i get no display. Monitor works on other computers. All power cords are connected, even to the VGA pci-e 16x. Fans, leds', and all that good sfuff come on. My case speeker is hooked up and im gettin no Beeps, Mobo green light is lit to full. donno what the deal is. the vid card is a eVGA 7800GTX, mobo a8n asus sli(im only using one vid card and its plug'd in to the primary), 580w PSU(not the issue), OCZ 2gig platnium RAM, water cooling (woot no leeks, and its external), processor amd athlon 64 FX55, 160 gig seagate HDD. imo maybe its the video card, is there bio's jumper im missing? also the floppy drive busy lite is contant on when i boot it on.
 
Your floppy lite is because you have the cable on backwards.
Your system is hanging at early post. Hard drive cables backwards will cause it.
Otherwise you have something causing the system to not post.
Somewhere here in FAQs is a troubleshooting step-by-step for dead machines. Try it.

It is a troubleshooting FAQ, probably in PC hardware.
