First Boot issues:

Intel MoBo: DQ57TM
Intel Processor: i5-750
Ram: 4GB of 8500 1066MHz DDR3
Video Card: EV3A GE Force 9500 GT 1GB DDR2 on board.

Trying to install Windows7

When booting, computer turns on. Fans, led lights, but no signal to monitor.

Intel DQ57TM has dual DVI connectors on back, but Intel website states that i5-750 does not have built in Video capabilities and requires a video card.

Am confused as to location to connect the monitor. (none work). Do not know how to install drivers for video card when can see nothing on the monitor.

Any suggestion.

Have you checked the manual for the motherboard?

Are you hearing any beep codes from the motherboard?

Can you try a standard low end PCI video card to see if that works?
