Answer : Problem: NO VIDEO SIGNAL!

Actually, this sounds like a typical DVI problem.  if  you've been reading the boards, DVI has this problem alot.  There are some solutions:

1.  Make sure that you have selected Digital input on your monitor's selector - as flat panels have pushbutton to select between analog/digital/svideo etc...
2.  If it is a Dell monitor, you may need flash update to the monitor's digital program - you have to call Dell Tech support for that, though.
3.  The video card may have a setting to send it to the proper signal (DVI in this case) go to the settings for the digital card and make sure that it is outputting to the digital interface.

hope this helps!
