Hey guys, I just built a custom PC with these specs:
The PC has no OS loaded. When I turn it on, it does not display on any monitor I hook up with separate cables (VGA and DVI). Anybody got a clue why it's not displaying? |

This may sound obvious, but you need to make sure your monitor is plugged into the GPU outputs, not those of the motherboard. I had a friend who did the same, he kicked himself when he realised. :3 If you're already doing that, try plugging into the motherboard outputs, if this works, it's either your card or something in the BIOS. Also, does your motherboard beep when you turn it on? Are there any lights? or any indication of light? Such as spinning fans? I plugged it into the wrong output, silly me! Also, if you could check out my new problem, that'd be great: http://lockergnome.net/questions/179563/internal-hdd-1-not-appearing |

connect the DVI or VGA cable to the onboard graphics and not your graphics card. open the bios and change the default or first display device to the PCI-E graphics card. then save and exit and you should be able to now put the monitors DVI or VGA onto the graphics card and have it display from there. |

Does the computer beep? If the motherboard has a video output try connecting your monitor to that to see if you get a graphical output. |

Double check the memory that you purchased against what the motherboard manufacturer recommends. If the memory you have is on the list, then remove all of the modules and replace them one at a time. Another option is to remove the GPU and try using the video out on the motherboard. |
