i've just installed a new mobo and when i switch on the pc the monitor automatically switches off. the pc seems to load ok from what i can hear. there are no error beeps or anything and the gree power led is on.
ive changed two graphics cards so it must be something else.

I had a similar problem with an ASUS A7V333 and an MSI MX460 dual monitor card. I found that setting BIOS settings back to default worked.

You might find that you also have a bad RAM stick, or a bad RAM slot on the board. This happened with my first A7V333, which I had to get replaced.

Is all of your hardware seated properly, jumpers set right, and connectors on the board accounted for?
