I forgot to add it is a Biostar GF8200C M2+ motherboard with an AMD AM3 240 x 2 DUAL CORE AM3 PROCESSOR with 2Gb DDR2 RAM

have you changed any settings in the BIOS?

the problem you see to have only points to the GPU and Monitor at the moment, so I would check that the GPU is seated correctly and that the DVI or VGA cable is secure in both the monitor and at the GPU

Haven't changed BIOS, I haven't got that far as nothing starts up, monitor is ok as it works on my other pc and cable seems to be secured ok. As I said I'm not even getting the beep on POST or any combinations of beeps. I'm stumped lol

Double check all the connections as its a new build its easy to miss something like the 4 or 8 pin ATX that goes near the CPU

problem solved

 

thanks for the help........it was the VGA cable just needed a good tighten up and the reason I had no POST beep was because I'd forgot to connect the speaker.......derrrrr lol.

Anyway its up and running now so once again thanks for the help and for replying to such an obvious half wit lol

Thanks for the feedback and glad all is OK now, don't worry, you needed help and no question is silly when someone needs an answer, it looks like Dalo pointed you in the right direction.
