yes. i even took out the video card to make sure it was not that and used the on board graphics.dooby95286

Your specs would help..but if it runs o.k. with the on-board..you may need to disable the onboard in the bios.

If you look at the back of the monitor does it have other inputs for cables that you are not using? Or what buttons are on the monitor? -Power -Menu? -Brightness? -Contrast? If you post the monitors model number I can answer all the above questions for you. That number should be on the back side of it.Sledge70

Your motherboards standard BIOS don't support that CPU. The socket is correct, but the type of CPU isn't.

Should. But I did speak incorrectly, what I meant to say was THAT might be the problem. I know on my first build I had the socket right for the MOBO/CPU combo but the initial BIOS didn't support the CPU. So I used an older CPU to make the initial start.

Just looking at basic specs the Mobo supports Phenom II x4 and Phenom II x3. His is an Athlon, just saying that might be the culprit.

Defective DVI/HDMI cable? I spent a WEEK before i found out this was the cause. Embarassing.

Here's a thought. How about the OP thank us for offering all these suggestions. This kind of trouble shooting costs a MINIMUM of $50/hour if you go to a cpu repair place. Also, I believe several people mentioned you need to update your bios so your mobo will recognize your cpu.
