Hey, Just got my new desktop today and it's already fucked… Yay. Basically the issue is when I boot it up there is no signal sent to the monitor and nothing is displayed.
It's not the monitor as I have tested it with other PC's and they work fine, There is no OS on the system as of yet but usually my other PC's boot fine with no OS as long as the disk is in the tray (which it is).
So I'm wondering, Any of you guys able to help at all with what the problem may be? thanks

Build it or buy it?
Does it say on, or turn off after a while?
Any beep codes?
If it says on, open it, are the things inside working/lit, is the gfx card fan spinning etc?
If all works but nothing sent to monitor which you know works for sure, may be problem with gfx card.

Get a linux distribution into a USB using another PC, then plug it into the laptop and do whatever you want.

Are you even getting the BIOS menu? If you're getting the BIOS menu, get into the boot menu (usually one of the function keys) and choose to boot from CD.
