Ok, so here's the issue.
Recently purchased parts to build my own computer:
MSI-A55M-P33 Motherboard
AMD Quad Core APU w/ Radeon HD 6530 Graphics on board
500 GB HDD
Case
Optical Drive
Thermaltake 430w PSU
4GB DDR3 Ram
I know this isn't going to be a killer machine, but it will do. I had 250 to work with, and this was the best I could find.
I put everything together, all of my plugs and cables and pins are stuck in their proper places. I boot up, install windows, and zoom, I'm ready to go. I started out by inserting the disc that came with the motherboard to install drivers for it. Installed everything. Connected to the internet to let windows do it's updating. Same thing. Downloaded MSI's Live Update 5 program and it updated the ATI display driver, as well as it's Safe Sync. After everything finished it said it needed a restart, so I restarted my computer. NOW THE PROBLEM!
I reboot, no screen! Monitor say that it isn't receiving a signal from the computer, entering sleep mode. The computer is working, as the audio still arrives once windows loads. I can blindly type in my password and hit enter, and I get the "successful" log in sound. I can even tab 5 times and play a sample video I had drug out to the desktop when I first installed everything. I just cannot see anything. There is no boot screen, no windows logo, no apparent recognition that there is a monitor even connected.
I've tested the monitor out on my laptop and it's working great. I am assuming that something happened during the MSI update, although I have no idea how to fix it. Probably the ATI display driver, considering that the computer is running off of the Radeon HD graphics. I'm an idiot for updating something I had no idea would mess me up.
Please assist. Preferably a walkthrough on what I need to do, as I'm not very "geek" savvy. Telling me to flash my BIOS or whatever brings up images of walking naked in front of my computer.......you get what I mean.
