I recently upgraded my computer with new parts(Everything except the processor & hard drive)
Parts:
Z77 sabertooth motherboard
16gb corsair vengeance 1866 Mhz Memory
Corsair HX750 power supply
XFX 7870 2gb Graphics card
Also 1tb Western Digital hard drive and 17-2600 processor (from previous build.)
I put everything together and those parts work well but the video card will not display video at all. The video card has 2 DVI ports(single and Dual), and a HDMI cable. ( i bought a HDMI to DVI-D cable) since the monitor says DVI-D I thought it would work. I have connected it to my mom's computer HDMI cable on her laptop as well as a DVD player and the monitor displays fine on them. I am stumped as to what the problem could be. I installed the video card and put all cords that were needed into the video card from the power supply and changed display to DVI-D display but wont work. My only conclusion is that the HD 5670 card i previously had installed needs to be disabled or deactivated? If anyone can help I would appreciate it I just want to get it up and running and im pretty sure its a video card issue since the monitor has proved to work on other DVI to HDMI devices.
