Okay well it appears I am not having a great deal of success with this build, to summarize what has been going on:
I built the system with my friend (we both have experience building PC's as we built his and 2 others) everything went along fine all the components were from quality vendors and were good parts however upon switching the machine on I got nothing as a display output (fans and stuff were spinning and HDD was on) So I tried VGA and HDMI from a graphics card as well as VGA on the motherboard still nothing. I end up troubleshooting and come to the conclusion that it was the motherboard and/or processor that was giving me issues so I took them back to the supplier (scan.co.uk) however according to them everything checks out and it works which honestly was a surprise to me, I had tested the power supply and memory at my friends house and they both work fine. I get back and try again assured by what the man at scan had told me but I still get the same issue so I try an old graphics card and it boots! I get the bios up and can boot to windows I then switched off and swapped out for my new graphics card and try again. Nothing. So I swap them over again and I am back to square one with nothing on screen
I am unsure what to do from here so any help would be great.
Parts list:
AMD athlon x4 760K
MSI FM2-MA-A75 P33
XFX R7770
Corsair XMS3 1600 4GB
Corsair CX 500w
Ye olde hard drive ( does work )
Sapphire HD 5450 (old graphics card I tested with, it works I ran dayz on this)
All cables are new and from what I can tell work
