Fans are spinning, monitor is blank.
I'm building a computer and have run into a problem. I've seated the CPU, plugged in RAM, graphics card, and hard drive. When I turn it on, everything works. CPU and graphics card fans spin up, and the hard drive is working. Only problem is, nothing shows up on the monitor. It doesn't say there's no signal, it's just blank. Any ideas?

We'll start with step 1...
The monitor works?
It is a good video card?

Try pulling out the video card and re-seating it.
