my friend just finished plugging everything up and hooked it up to his tv via hdmi, everything boots on and all the fans spin but just no display, and the dvd drive will not open either, he tried the pinhole and it just slid all the way in without hitting anything to force it open. it was a deal from newegg for a discount and it came with all the parts needed. any ideas. i found a video with what is happening to him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO0QF6WiMSg

If you're 100% sure everything is plugged in correctly and there are no faulty parts yet your monitor/tv doesn't get any signal from the computer. Remove your RAM sticks and place them on the two different slots.he took one ram stick out and moved the ram stick that was still left in there to a slot he has not used yet. when he switches to hdmi 2 which is what his pc is connected to, it says connecting for a few seconds and then says no signal

Do you have 4 ram slots? And did you remove both ram and place them in the two different slot?
Example. (Assuming you have 4 slots)
Your original ram placement.

I'm with the user FALCON, I have had a similar situation where I plugged the HDMI cable into the moherboard's integrated graphics as opposed to the graphics card. Sounds stupid but make sure the HDMI is actually plugged into the graphics card. The CD drive may be coincidental. It is plugged into graphics card but nothing shows on screen.

If it also has integrated graphics, there will be another HDMI port for that on the board. Plug the monitor into that and see what happens. If you get display, then the PC is using the integrated GPU instead of the card.
This all assumes the system is posting. Is it?

After it turns on, you should a hear a beep. Right around the time you would normally see the motherboard splash screen/memory and other checks. If no beep, unlikely its the aforementioned gpu issue. Could still be cpu power though. What is supposed to beep? I don't have speakers or anything hooked up yet?

If its not one of the two simple ones, somebody posted a link to the troubleshooting thread earlier. That's should help you figure it out. A few things it could be.Well, when I was putting my cpu cooler on the motherboard I palced it wrong so I picked it back up and the cpu got stuck on the cpu cooler then I ended up having to ply it off but it fell on its back, it didn't seem any of the gold peices where broke but i'm not sure?

motherboard is a ga 990fxa ud3, does not have onboard graphics for the cpu and does not have a integrated gpu,
cpu is a amd fx 8350
gpu is a sapphire 7870 i think its overclocked from the factory
power supply is a baswill 700W
from what i saw the motherboard does not have any wires behind it touching it or any standoffs touching the motherboard in unessasary places. the only thing i can think of is that the graphics card has a large metal peice that touches the motherboard he said when he put it in.
