Exclamation Troubleshooting my new computer

Just got a new Digital Storm computer and there are problems.

The systems has: Haf 932 chassis, MSI Intel X-58 MB, Intel I7 920 2.66 Ghz Proc, 6GB DDR3 1333Mhz Ram, 750w PS, 1TB HD, G-Force 285 2GB Vid Card, H2O 1 cooler, Windows Vista

Problems:
There is no signal to the LCD monitore. I tested the LCD on another computer, it works fine. I checked the cable connections. I checked the video card, it is in tight, the power cables are tight. The video card fan is operating.

The reset button is not working. The reset button on the MB also does not work.

When the power button is pushed the MB lights up but there is no beeping or clicking to show that it is booting up.

The drive bay goes in and out but it will not spin up with a disk in it.

The fans work, the cooling system is working. I checked all the power connections on the MB, disk drive, and HD. I checked the Ram sticks, they are locked in.

Any advice on troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This is a fairly new computer and if so you should have a warranty. Your problems should be directed to Digital Storm.

Is the video card inserted all the way and locked down? How about your drivers!

Try to update the drivers. If that doesn't work give the comp back to where you bought it. They should be able to fix it.

How is he gonna update te drivers when it doesnt even get past POST?? I have never heard of Digital storm, but I would contact them if you just got it then it should be under warranty and they should fix it.

Never heard of digital storm? Gaming computers, custom gaming computers, gaming pc, custom gaming pc. This appears to be another person who posts but never returns so forget about it.
