I hope u all can help with this issue. Here's what I'm putting together asus rampage II extreme x58, Intel I7 940, corsair dominator 1600 ddr3, bfg gtx 295. So I put it all together n got this on my screen. Checked the wires n cables all is good, power supply is on and running, mobo lights up all over where displayed, all fans run, reseated video card 4 times. Not sure what else to do however I'm running a 19" viewsonic crt, so the cable is a vga cable with a dvi adapter, not sure if that would cause ana issue but who knows, if someone can help would appreciate it ty :)

Have you tried another monitor to see if it also shows the same message ?

A faulty memory card ( or memory slot) can cause this same message also.

I don't hv another monitor at the moment. I'll try running it with 1 memory stick and then 2 memory sticks, cause I hv 3 in atm. Ty

I should have added, I am not a computer person, but I had the exact issue, and it turned out to be my memory card slot

If you have a lap top, plug your monitor into it and see if the monitor works

I'm a bit confused about the "VGA cable with a DVI adapter"

The monitor will undoubedly have an analog (VGA/EGA, etc) connection (15 pin) and may have a DVI adapter. If the video card also has a VGA and a DVI connection, using a VGA cable plugged into the card and into the monitor should work if the drivers are properly installed. Even if the drivers are bad, the standard Windows VGA driver should work to give you a 640 x 480 display.

If both the monitor and the video card have DVI connectors, you can use a DVI cable to connect the two. Then (again, if you have the proper drivers installed), you will get video. With some very high resolution displays, there can be other problems with "single-channel vs dual-channel", but I don't think that applies here.

If you've met these conditions and still can't get video, the evidence points to the video adapter in the computer. There's a slight chance that the monitor is bad -- trying a second monitor will rule that out. There's also a slight chance that the cable is bad -- maybe a bent pin in a connector.
