What reasons would a monitor not receive signal from the computer?

I recently built a gaming PC and, upon attaching my DVI cable from my GPU to my monitor, I noticed my monitor won't pick up that my tower is attached to it. I have tried removing and reinstalling my GPU several times now and my PSU is rated 100w over what I need to run it. What else could be causing this failure to send signal to my monitor?

    When Bios runs it sends a signal to the monitor via the graphics card.

    Your problem suggests that bios is not running or the graphics is not sending the signal.

    If you monitor and cable are o.k then problem has to be

    1 RAM, 2 Graphics card, 3 motherboard, 4 cpu

    In most cases this will be RAM

    If it is the graphics of coarse bios will carry on running and complete its tasks

    Possibly a missing driver for the GPU?
