cpu or video card

Post by Anonymous »

recently got some new items for my pc. A new motherboard(chaintech 7NIL1), cpu (Barton 2600+), two sticks of ram (Corsair Value Select 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200) and a new video card (ati 9600se). I placed all of the components in my case and started it up. Got the os installed and used it for about a week and a half. Then all of a sudden the computer shut off and when i went to turn it back on i got the no signal to the monitor message it also did not beep. I placed the old motherboard back in and tested the ram to make sure that it was good and everything worked out fine. But i have no way of testing the cpu or the video card because my old mb was an intel board and ad no agp slot. But I figured that it was the motherboard because of the fact that it didn't beep so i returned the motherboard and got a replacement when i got it back i again installed everything and when i started it up, i got the same message on the screen about no signal. Is it my cpu or could it be my video card? Or did i just miss something or do something stupid cause this is my first time to do this. Any help is appreciated.
