More Information

Basically i have built a new system and wasnt getting any signal to the moniter....
After days and days of research i found out that it wasnt a problem with my cpu, nor gcard..... nor mobo (as i even ordered a new one =S) so i got my mates gcard and ram over, tested gcard... still no signal. then i wacked in his ram (normal 800mhz 1.8v ram) to find out i get a boot screen and bios! EUREKA!
Soooo... realised that my ram was 2.1v (the dominator corsair ram) so i turned the DRAM voltage up to 2.1, and freq up to 1066mhz, took his ram out... put mine in and again, no boot screen.
Can any1 help me
My specs are:

Asus P5k PRO mobo
xfx 8800gtx
Q6600
CORSAIR dominator -c2-8500 ram (1066mhz 2.1v)
CM realpower Modular psu 700w
