Hey everybody, I have just built my new custom gaming PC and have run into a couple of problems. At the first power on, everything worked except that I had nothing coming up on my monitor. All fans running, all lights on. I tried over and over with different monitors, no results. I unplugged my graphics card and tried using the integrated graphics, and it worked perfectly while using integrated graphics. But that is the problem. I can't play games on my CPU's integrated graphics! I have been doing that on my laptop, that's why I built a desktop!
So then I turned off my computer, re-plugged in my graphics card (Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition) and it had the same failure results as before. So I have come to the conclusion that either my graphics card is faulty or that my PCI Express 3.0 slot on my motherboard is screwed up. I am using the MSI B75MA-P45. I am going to get a free replacement of my graphics card to see if it works, but I would also need some advice from someone who is more experienced than I.
BTW: The fans on the graphics card work fine, the case I am using is the Cooler Master Elite 430 Mid Tower, motherboard: MSI B75MA-P45, and suspicious graphics card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770. My working graphics is the intel hd ?000 on my i3 2120. I know a lot about intel hd, but I don't know yet for sure what I have on my i3 2120. My laptop runs HD 4000. My i3 most likely runs HD 2000.
ALL PARTS ORDERED FROM AMAZON.COM. When I get into the BIOS, all of my parts are detected, even all of my RAM. I can only get into the BIOS when my GPU is unplugged, however. I am using the integrated graphics on my i3-2120.
