Re: black screen?

what motherboard did you buy?
Do you have a video card? if so witch one?

A 300w PS is low. It might not have the juice to get the job done. my best guess right now without some more info is your power supply.

Re: black screen?

Try getting in your BIOS. Hold down a key during start up, look in your manual for the right key to hold down during start up

If you can see your Bios menu, look for onboard devices. Then look for display device. it could be setup to PCI-X, change it over to onboard.

Sounds like his monitor isn't getting a signal from the mobo, so try and insert a gfx card (any will do) and try and do as basil said..
