Jump to PostSomething to check is whether you've got the correct power plug in your graphics card. Some take a 4 pin plug which (thanks to some genius) looks the same as a 4 pin motherboard plug. Probably not your issue, just something I thought of.

There is that. So much for better living through chemistry.

You're sure your RAM is compatable?
Perhaps try it with just 1 stick of RAM.
Umm.... the 'on' switch on the monitor ;)
-----------------------------------------------
I should have asked before: what graphics card and what PSU (ie does it have enough amps?)
If it were me, I'd take out the RAM and graphics cards, give them a quick brush with my shirt and reseat them (used to work with games on my SNES, oh serial interfaces, the memories) *ahem* anyway.
