Hello. Today i was attempting my first build.
Specs:
OCZ ModXStream 700watt
gigabyte radeon 7870
1tb hard drive
msi - 990fxa-GD80 v2
FX-8350 processor.
16gb (2x8) ram 1600mhz ddr3
Thermaltake Commander ms-1 case

I got it all built up today. I was pretty proud of myself. Hit that power button and it started running. Fans were on. CPU cooler running. DVD drive was working. Hard Drive had power.

But... NO DISPLAY.
I have read the guide on no display and tried running with one stick of ram and all the other things that were requested. The motherboard i have has an LED debug panel on it. The code displayed says "97". I looked in the manual and that code wasn't even in there. I really need help and don't want to end up wasting the 1500$ I have spent on this computer. Please help, thanks.

Have you got another vid card to try?
Sometimes the vid card doesn't seat correctly when being installed, try reseating and make sure the power connectors are hooked up properly.
I've heard of people plugging in the 8-pin cpu power plug into their video card because it's an 8-pin connector and vice-versa.
What monitor do you have and the connection method...HDMI, DVI, etc....
