I finally got all of my computer parts in and put it together. I turned on the computer and at first every 5-30 sec my computer would cut off. After trying some differ methods to stop it I thought I fixed it. Well I did my bios, and after that it said to put in a boot disk etc. I put in a 3.5 floppy of win 98 It kept on telling me error.... when I tried to install it. Then I put in a Mcafee antivirus emergency boot disk and the computer killed. Call me stupid for putting in that disk I know but this is my first go around. Anyway now when I turn on the computer everything runs like normal but there is no picture on the monitor. The light on the motherboard comes on, all the fans, the video card fans, etc everything seems to be running the same as before but no picture. Please help me I have no idea what to do. I am going to try and take everything apart and put it all back together but I dont know. Please tell me I didnt damage anything. If something is damaged how can you tell? Anyways Im estarical please help.
