I recently built my first computer, but I honestly don't know that much about the process. This is my build:
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AMD Motherboard w/ UEFI BIOS
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 02G-P4-2660-KR Video Card
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz Socket AM3+ Six-Core Desktop Processor
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
PSU: RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W Modular Power Supply, New Version with Build-in LED Fan On/Off Switch
Case: CFI Diablo LT CFI-B1010 Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window
Monitor: Acer H226HQLbid Black 21.5" 5ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LED Backlit LCD Monitor, IPS Panel 250 cd/m2 ACM 100,000,000:1 (1000:1)
So this is my problem: after assembling the whole thing and plugging everything in, I turned on the computer. Everything seemed to work fine, all the fans spinning, the HDD LED on the motherboard on. However, when I hooked it up to my monitor, nothing showed up on the screen. The thing is, there are two distinct errors from the monitor: one is "Cable not Connected", which shows when the computer is not hooked up to the monitor. The other is the one I am having trouble with: "No Signal", which shows when the computer is connected, but nothing shows on the screen. I have tried using VGA, DVI, and HDMI, with no success. Any solutions or information on what might be wrong?
Some more things I noticed are that when I press the button of my DVD drive to open the tray, its light comes on but the tray does not come out. I checked the SATA cable, and it seems to be snug on both ends. In addition, my USB ports on the back of the motherboard do not seem to work; when I plug in a mouse or keyboard, none of their lights come on.
I have no idea if my other problems are related to the monitor one, but again, I don't know much about computers. If you guys could help, that would be great.
