Well after spending $800, and lots of hours. We found the problem.
Evidently, the monitor, which is a new LCD monitor failed. The reason
we couldn't figure that out is evidently the digital side failed only
analog side kept working. Yes we did get a new power supply rated at
500 W. Now. We need to send an angry letter to Samsung about their new
LCD monitor. We did check and find out that produced pretty reliable
stuff, but evidently, we got the exception.


Ok, so that was your issue......but what you posted was "am unable to
install". A generic description like that is meaningless for relevant help
or advice. Had you posted that you were able to fit the board, hook it up,
the system powered on and booted and there was no signal output, very likely
more relevant advice such as "have you tried both DVI and VGA output on the
monitor" or "have you tried the DVI dongle for analog input" would likely
have been offered. What type of DVI cable did you use to hook up the
monitor? Have you tried the DVI input with a different DVI cable? Or on a
different system?
Kind of like posting "I've lost the key to my car. It's a Chevy Avalanche.
With a 5.3L. Can you help me find it?"
