I will try and make this as discriptive as possible, if furthewr detail is needed, please ask!

OK, here's my problem: i get no video OUTPUT.
- The hard disk boots properly
- Floppy drive boots properly
- Cd drive boots properly
- no video output
- Power supply exaust fan is very loud
- case is for an older model (temporary)
- New hard drive with windows on it
- all new hardware (except power supply)
- I made a boot disk in windows 98 so i could format, but before i re-installed windows, I got all new hardware
- I used the boot disk, and it booted up... however, I didn't know how to use the BIOS on the motherboard to switch to boot of cd- rom
- When I used the boot disk, I noticed the motherboard looked exactly the same as th old one, even though it's a different model
- I lost the boot disk
- I tried other boot disks to SEE if it would still work... but no dice
- when i try to boot up, the hard drive, floppy drive and cd drive boot, but there is no video output
- I PUT a hard drive with windows xp already on it, but still nothing

Any help would be GREATLY APPRETIATED.We know a lot of stuff now, except nothing about the power supply maker, how old, how big, etc.Alright, i'll post some additional information TOMORROW... right now i'm really tired... just thought someone might have had this problem before and immedieatly recognize it... oh well. I'll give power supply and video card info tomorrow.Quote
