Hi, guys.
This is my first time building a pc so please bear with me.
My problem lies in that my monitor does not recognize the signal between it and my PC anymore, apparently.
Prior to finally realizing that I hadn't connected the CPU to the MOBO I had gone through several trial and error type things, when it turned out to be just that, a cable I forgot to connect to install.
I had successfully booted the MOBO's interface and went to look for the bios, and realized I hadn't properly connected the SATA cables, so therefore the bios would not load up, maybe there's a trend going on here, but after properly connecting the SATA cables to the Optical and Solid State Drive, it would not recognize my PC as it did a few minutes ago.
I can't really pinpoint what had gone wrong, during my time within the mobo's interface I had messed around with some settings that perhaps made it so my computer couldn't recognize my PC. I also inserted a driver disk and windows 7 disk foolishly into the optical drive, I also restarted within the interface with the disk in the optical drive in hopes that perhaps this wasn't where I would find the BIOS.
So was inserting the disks prior to actually setting up the BIOS a big mistake and could I have accidentally flipped something within the interface to make it so my monitor wouldn't interact with my PC?
Or is there another cable that I didn't connect properly?
I'll be posting status updates as I go along figuring this out.
My build is
i5 3570k
Evga 650 Ti Boost
Seasonic 620W
Asrock Z77 Extreme 3
