He guys... so some background. When installing windows 8, a restart is prompted during installation. When my PC restarts, the monitor doesn't. My monitor stays off. So, having to hold the power button ends up corrupting the installation. Reinstalling windows 8: I format the SSD but it still won't let me install. So i end up deleting the partition that was created during the last attempted install, and I think I deleted the actual primary SSD. eventually I was able to install windows successfully. One thing I noticed however, it didn't make a partition. Does this mean anything?

My ram is set at 8gb with 1600mhz, but my bios measures the frequency at 1335mhz. I have set it manually to 1600 but when I do, sometimes the bios will not detect the ssd that holds the OS, so I end up having to reset it to 1335 just to gain access to the OS. Another issue goes back to the beginning. Restarting my pc won't turn on my monitor. The monitor only turns on if i hold down the power button to turn off and press again to turn on. I've tried connecting the hdmi cable from the graphics card to the motherboard, but that doesn't work at all. The monitor doesn't turn on no matter what i do. When connected to the GPU: Sometimes pressing the reset button works, but not all the time. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Here are the Specs. The OS is installed on the ADATA SSD. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/xavi/saved/2q34
Edit: I forgot to mention that I have installed the drivers for the motherboard and the graphics card. Also when my os boots up, it doesn't display the correct aspect ratio for my monitor? its a bit smaller with black empty space on the outline of the interface. I though this would fix itself after I installed the drivers?
