System:

MoBo: DFI Infinity NFS70-M2/G
Video: Palit GForce 9600GT 1GB Sonic
RAM: 2x Firestix DDR2 1GB

The system seems to be booting (I can hear it accessing the drives, and all the fans on all the parts are spinning), but nothing is being output. The monitor doesn't even react to the system being switched on.

I've tried every possible configuration of RAM sticks, PCIe slots, and DVI out ports. The monitor is known to be working.

Suggestions?

What happens if you put a different video card in it?

If not already performed:
- turn off power
- unplug system from the wall
- remove the video card
- reseat the card
- try to boot

If no go: repeat the procedure but reset the BIOS before attempting to boot.

Unfortunately, this is the only PCIe video card I have access to, and the board has no AGP slots.

If not already performed:
- turn off power
- unplug system from the wall
- remove the video card
- reseat the card
- try to boot

If no go: repeat the procedure but reset the BIOS before attempting to boot.

I have already moved the video card back and forth between the two PCIe slots several times, but I hadn't actually tried resetting he BIOS yet.

Still nothing, however.

It's working now... Apparently everything just needed to be unplugged and plugged back in one more time. :P
