All the BIOS beeps are solid, everything is looking good. I have built computers in the past and everything looks solid with this installation.

Is there something that I need to do to get my screen to work now?

No BIOS beeps, good install, NVidia motherboard 780i and graphics card, any ideas?

OK, so I'm guessing that it's dead. It's not my machine, and the owner is on a very fixed (IE, none) income.
