Hey everyone! I just built my first pc and after waiting for a new powersupply everything is plugged in (I think) and running. The problem is that I don't have anything showing up on my monitors. I tried the two inputs on my video card and the one on the motherboard itself and nothing is showing up. When the monitors are unplugged it shows the little box saying the monitor is working and to "check signal cable". when I plug it in however that goes away and the monitor is blank with the little green LED blinking.

All the case, video card, and processor fans are running and the harddrive feels slightly warm so I think everything is plugged in correctly. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
