GeForce FX 5600 XT - No monitor signal
I'm in the process of building a computer and I've got everything installed but am getting no video signal. I've tried another video card, but am getting the same result. Here are the specs:
Mobo: MSI 865PE Neo2-PFS
CPU: INTEL PENTIUM 4 3.2 GHz 512K CACHE (800MHz) SOCKET 478
Video Card: XFX GeForce FX 5600 XT / 128MB DDR / AGP 8X
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I forgot: take the motherboard out of the case and put it on an antistatic surface, like wood or a cardboard box.
are you connecting your monitor to a dvi port or a vga port on the video card. I've seen lots of issues like this when connecting to a dvi port and the monitor needs to be switched from vga input to dvi input mode.

Does your mobo have onboard video? if so, you may need to disable it in BIOS

THis is probably a stupid suggestion, but is your monitor broken?, or does it display the very annoying and frusterating, 'No Signal' Message
If your motherboard has onboard video, I would pull out the 5600 and hook up a monitor to the onboard video and check your BIOS/CMOS settings. Make sure AGP 4X/8X is enabled and you might need to disable onboard video.
Also, are you getting any beeps on startup? Some motherboards will Beep in a certain sequence which you can look up in the included motherboard manual or online at the manufacturer's site

seat your video card properly, it is a bit tircky.
Hope the asker has solved his issue.... it's bad not mentioning and giving the feedback.

I'm extremely sorry for never closing this question. I was frantic when I posted it because I was in crisis mode. I needed to get the computer out the door. Thanks to Callandor for the troubleshooting. It was a bad motherboard.
