No display when booting.

Received a few parts online and believe that I have everything hooked up correctly but when I go to boot there is absolutely no display and the light on the monitor remains yellow. I'm just trying to get it to boot into the bios so that I can install the operating system. There's a green light on the motherboard that stay lit. When I push the power button up front, a red light turns on underneath the green light and the fan turns on. This is far as I can get.. I do not currently have a video card installed so I I am just connected from the monitors vga to the vga of the motherboard.

Going to need more information Fieldinator89.

I take it this is not the PC in your MY System Specs (a laptop)?
Please post specs of your parts (for I assume a desktop).

The "red light below the green light": is this on the motherboard, or the case?
Is there any description of what the green light represents? Red light?

I assume you are using a processor with integrated graphics, or a motherboard with them?

I have a bunch of different systems going on so Its difficult to contain in profile haha. I'm not sure whether this integrated graphics or not, if there isn't then there has to be a video card?

The lights are on the motherboard. Lemme try and grab specs.

Processor is a core2quad

Yes, no on board graphics means you must have a video card.
I don't believe the Core2quad has integrated graphics.

Pretty simple methinks: you need a card!

EDIT: but why does the motherboard have a VGA port? Is it Core i3, i5, i7 capable?

I thought they all did? Right by the pink funky port haha

The pink funky port?

Oh I installed the graphics card and still nothing! The fan on the card is working, too so I assume its getting adequate power?

What is the brand and model number of your motherboard?

Since it has a VGA port on the motherboard and a Socket 775 I have to assume it has a graphics chip on the board.
You should go into the BIOS settings and look for settings regarding graphics. They *should* switch automatically when you install a graphics card, but some do not. See if you can switch it to the graphics card.

Does that motherboard have a speaker? Does it beep at all? You should get the POST OK single beep when you start it - if it has a speaker.

I mean there is literally no display. No BIOS. No anything. No beeping. Where exactly does the speaker plug in? I don't remember plugging one in. But yeah, nothing ever comes on the screen. Monitor light stays yellow.

Intel desktop board.
Support for the Intel® Desktop Board DQ965GF

Just need to know if you are getting any beep codes.
EDIT: that board is supposed to show BIOS Error messages. Do you get any?
