Did you try following the instruction such as checking the cables? most of the time that is correct in saying check the cables.
well unless you hear some strange beeps* when booting up. i hope you know what i mean.

Have you used the adaptor before? I am not with DVI and still sticks with VGA but I have lots of experience regarding adpators that wont work.

I have all kinds of adaptors in my army bag except the DVI adaptor. Guess that your monitor is on VGA, does your video card dont have a VGA slot? Most of the time they have both DVI and VGA slot.

Do you have a spare PCI Express or PCI graphics card from another PC and put into this one to make sure the graphics card is working? With todays demands of servers and servers being launched at home, most servers are "headless" meaning no keyboard, mouse or monitor and are remote controlled. The only time a graphics card is needed is during OS installation unless you image so most BIOSes won't care if there's a graphics card or not. You might want to check that graphics card in another machine as well.

Have you made sure you plugged in the power from the PSU to your GFX card?

There should be a power jack to plug into because my NVIDIA GeForce 6600 card needs extra power from my PSU.
