Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but my problem could be incapability with the motherboard, so I thought this maybe the best place.

I have tried to build a brand new pc for a friend, which isn't going to plan. the components are:

Gigabyte S-series GA-P31-DS3L motherboard;
Intel E2180 processor;
1 x 2gb DDR2 667 Ram;
Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 graphics card;
250 Hitachi hard drive.

Only after installing and going to plug the monitor into the VGA slot on the back of the motherboard, did I realise this specific one doesn't have one. I tried both slots of the graphics card, but still can't get a picture. I also tried the ram in each of the DDR slots, with no luck.

Also the picture less pc runs for a random amount of time, before rebooting.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could sort this, or if any of these parts are incombatible?

Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
