My monitor won't turn on but everything else is on.
Does the monitor have power, can you see the light on the front? What color is it and does it ever change?

My motherboard must not be posting.
Do you hear a POST beep when you power on the system?

Istill n unplugged everything except the essentials and it still would not turn on.
What is your defintion of "essentials"? (Monitor/keyboard/mouse)

I then tried reseting CMOS but ot luck.
How did you do this? Did you remove the cmos battery?

This is not a new build. Brother shipped from out of state to me. It was packaged very well.
Maybe so, but your still going to have movement inside the case. Open the case and reseat the video card.

Sorry you posted while I was typing.

No post beep could mean the memory is faulty. You must have memory installed to hear a POST beep
