Hey guys, as the title says I have recently ordered and assembled a new computer, but I am having some issues. This is my first build.
I followed multiple video tutorials and guides and felt competent, but when I power on the PC the monitor won't turn on. When I press the power on the monitor manually it just says "No Signal". I'm using an HDMI cable.
But, when I do power it on, the gpu/cpu fans, system fans, and tower lights come on and my keyboard/mouse appear to have power.
I'm confused and don't know if this issue is my fault or a component is faulty.
What I've tried to do to fix it:
Checked each ram piece individually
Replugged everything, made sure things were secure
Tried different PCI-E slots for the gfx card
The only thing I felt like I messed up on was after I seated my heatsink. A few minutes afterward I felt like readjusting it cause it didn't feel right and when I pulled it up the cpu came with it (palm to face deff happened). The cpu didn't look like it had any bent pins though, and I reseated it.
I've followed the troubleshoot tutorial (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems) but couldn't find anything that would be causing this issue. I don't have a motherboard speaker, but I just ordered one -- so that's in the works so I can attempt to diagnose the problem that way.
Any help would be appreciated!
