Make sure the power supply is on 115 Watts or whatever. When this is wrong,
you can get just a blank screen. Also check your graphics card in another
computer, and if it works make sure it is seted firmly in the slot (PCI I
presume?). If it still does not work, try it in a different slot. If none
of this works, it might be your ram, or even you motherboard. Try them in a
different computer.
