New build finally done...now screen remains blank

[Airw4ves]

Well I've just finished piecing together my new build, and when I went to it on, the machine starts up and everything, but I do not see anything on my screen. Now I checked, and re checked the cable placement, and that my video card in securely attached to the MB and that everything has been plugged in but with no change. I can see the menu on the monitor if I use the settings buttons on it, but its like the comp and the monitor are not communicating.
Any info would be a great help

Thanks

howdy. first of all, plz do refresh our scarce memories about thine components, sir.

try another exit on the video card, make sure all cables(power) are plugged in.

do you hear the fans changing speeds after the initial vroom? if so itll be easy, i reccon

[Airw4ves]

Ah yes, my apologies
Here you are

MB: Asus M4A87TD
CPU: AMD Phenom™ II X4 965 BE
VGA: eVGA GeForce GTX 275 896MB
RAM: Patriot Extreme Performance Sector 5 G Series DDR3 4GB (2 x 2GB)
PSU: 850watt Corsair
HDD: 500GB Seagate, 1TB Seagate
Case: Thermaltake Armour

I have noticed that my video cards fan is not running, would it be an issue with my power?
I attempted to unplug and re-plug them in but it did not seem to change anything

ok so all power cords are connected? 8 pin, 6 pin,etc?

how do the fans sound like? same speed from bootup or they change in speed?

they are 6 pin, and the fan on my video card is not running

No funny sounds either

as for the CPU, I had to plug it in down there because there were no other areas for me to plug in my two radiator fans

No He meant, in your picture behind the rad, there is a blue connector. It has to be plug in

ok, first of all, have you plugged in the 8 pin power cable for the cpu? blue connector on mobo, top left corner in the picture.

and if the fan on your video card is not turning, something else may be bad with it as well. do you have another power supply? put it together on your table, in case there is a short(extra standoff forgotten by god?) :)
