Hi guys I recently built a PC. Specs here: http://speedcap.net/sharing/screen.php?id=files/e6/30/e...


Everything went fine until I booted it up. I saw nothing on my monitor. Tried to use onboard graphics with GPU disconnected and this worked. However to try and get my GPU working I updated my BIOS which was recommended by asrock and tried different PCIE slots. Anyone know what could be wrong?

normally hooking a graphics card up will automatically divert to the card. did you check the BIOS to see if there's an option to disable onboard graphics or to make it point to the card(slot)?

monitor cable is hooked to card?

BIOS is set to PCIE as first option and yes it's connected to the GPU

mobo probably can't detect your gpu
psu's pci-e power adapter is either defective or not seated properly

The fans are getting power so I don't think it's the PSU??
