secondly, try swapping your memory modules and re install it just to make sure

im also concerned about the humming, what kind of hum? is it 60 HZ hum? or high frequency hum?
and can you point it where it sounds?

mobos sometimes do that if there`s no memory module installed, or no CPU installed, is there any beep sound? did you install the small speaker on the mobo when you assemble it?

that small buzzer like speaker is important also on diagnosing problems, it can emit beep codes which tells you where`s the problem area

just tested 1 2 gig ram stick and a different monitor using an older cable that i found. still doesnt work.. the humming is actually quite loud and all the LEDs on the motherboard are lighting up. upon powering it up i waited for a while to see if the humming would die down but it didnt.. for about 30 seconds so i turned it off incase something would happen.

theres no loud beeping sounds but the normal startup beeping sound. i didnt hear anything out of the ordinary. and no constant beeping either..

mobo-ok
PSU-ok
memory-ok
video card-?

shorted video cards can also emit humming sounds due to high ampere scenario

try installing it on the lower PCIe slot and see if it can transmit a signal to the monitor

unplug the videocard and try powering the PC without it and see if the humming sound disappears

the lower slot is blocked by the case though. as the gfx card is really large. =S theres a sort of harddrive containment section in the case which is sticking out and blocks a small area for the graphics card to enter so that it can fit. =S mayb i shud try to remove it? although im not sure its possible.

try first removing the VGA card and power up the PC, and see if the hum disappears,
it could be a PSU dropping or the VGA card shorting
