I've tried everything i can think off. 25 credits to whoever can get this problem solved for me (if more than one person helps me 3 most helpful gets 25 credits) ok i built this computer. Hooked everything up PSU memory cpu gpu mobo (those are the only 4 things it absolutely requires to show something on the monitor, right?) wouldn't display a picture so since the psu wast giving power to cd drive fans mobo etc i assumed that wasn't the problem gpu works in my current computer tried switching cord and monitor to ones i know work (the ones I'm currently using to post this) and it still doesn't work swapped out mobos tried both gpu slots on the second one still no picture am about to swap out for memory i know works (just realized i haven't checked that as I post this, silly me) will edit if that fixes it and other than that idk what else the problem is besides cpu, which I've no idea how to check and I REALLY do not want to swap my current one out to check if that works Thanks, K4D Tried a stick of memory i know is working, didn't help, any ideas would be great The memory standard for the mobo is ddr2 1200 and the memory has a speed of ddr2 800 i assume it just can't be higher than the standard or does this make them completely incompatible??

So, let me just make sure I got this correct, your post was a bit hard to follow. Power Supply works. Memory works. You tested the video card with a different motherboard? It works? If thats the case, you have a bad slot on your motherboard. RMA it.
power supply i'm fairly sure works. memory works. videocard works. what about cpu? can that go bad? i've tried 2 different motherboards gotten the exact same results from both (tried 3 different videocard slots, 2 different cpu slots) so i'm kinda leaning away from it being the mobo again but the only other thign i can think of is the cpu going bad
Wait, your getting no video on multiple different motherboards? Did you use the exact same processor for each of those motherboards too?
used two different motherboards same everything else told you what i verified works and yes same processor
