Here's my setup:
Intel Core Duo E6750 2.66ghz
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
WD 500gb HDD (sata)
OCZ GameXStream 700W
Lian Li PC-61
2gb Corsair DDR2
8800 GTS 320mb
Sony Optiarc DVD-RW (sata)

I assembled everything, went to boot up, and got nothing. The fans on everything are spinning (psu,gpu,cpu, all case fans), but my monitor says no signal found. Is it my motherboard? My graphics card? Am I just missing something? Please help :(. Thanks

My guess it might be memory or a bios issue between board and cpu.

Try re-seating the card.

Tried reseating to no avail. The mobo says it supports my cpu, and removing either stick of ram doesn't change anything either. Any other ideas? I'd really like to get this working before I have to move out for college :(

can you put in another video card? a PCI one? or a spare PCI E one? something to make sure it isnt the card.

Unfortunately, no. Its the only card I've got.

My guess is it's the motherboard. The 6750 is a 1333mhz strap. I think with my overclocked settings the 6750 would run just fine, but if you've got a version 1.0 DS3 then that could be the problem. (Check out the upperleft hand corner.)

As a side note: try switching the output of your video card (i.e. plug it up to the other DVI port.)

The box says its rev 3.3, and that it supports 1333 mhz. :/ Switching outputs was one of my first thoughts, but no such luck. Tried different monitors as well.

Do you have the extra power connector plugged into the graphics card?

Is the DVI cable plugged in to monitor and VGA card?

Its got its own power line, and yes it was connected to the monitor.

I've tried removing and reinstalling it at least 20 times, nothing different happens.
