Not sure why you are starting up your SAMep? Mine is still in an antistatic bag...

But in anycase since it is functioning correctly I'd say you're just overlooking an obvious thing...
Is you monitor plugged into the right hole on and SAMep and does your monitor work?
Are your HD and DVDRW plugged in to the right SATA ports and are they plugged in properly and do they work?
Is the HD got OS4 installed on it?
I'm thinking it's just a monitor thing... I'm not sure why people go crazy reseating and reinstalling and re-anything else for that matter when you can't see a picture...
relax, pretend you are setting it for the first time, be sure of what you're doing, take your time... there can't be too many things wrong with it...
take it easy
