Why is it that nothing post on my monitor?

When I turn the computer on, the HD and power LEDs function and the fans activate. Unfortunately, there are no system beeps and nothing posts to the monitor. This occured after I installed an additional NIC in the computer. I tried resetting the CMOS but that didn't help. I also took out the NIC, but that did not fix the problem. I was told to replace the motherboard by the company that sold me the computer because it was no longer under warranty. I did so, but am still having the same problem. I really have no idea what else to do or what else could be the problem.

You might have loosen the video card Check to see if the video card is properly installed Usually when you can't see anyting on your screen it's the video card Also check the power cables to see if the monitor is pluged up correctly.
