Hi,
After installing a new dvd burner, my monitor is showing nothing after
turn on the pc. The hdd, ram, mother board should work fine since I
can here the sound when windows start. The monitor light is flashing
on green. Is my video card dead? Thanks for your help.

Although most computers have a keyed connector for the IDE cables, it
is possible on some to reverse this cable. If that is what you did,
that would prevent the computer from booting.
