I recently started a new build with MSI Z87-G45 Gaming MOBO and a Nvidia EVGA GTX 760 and everything was going very well until I hooked my DVI to my monitor and was not getting a signal out of my graphics card. So I troubleshooted and installed newest BIOS, newest drivers ETC ETC. I went into BIOS and went into the Board Setup and went to PCIE slots and it was displaying all of them were empty.
Please help :)

SPECS :
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Intel I7 4770k 3.5GHZ
EVGA GTZ 760
Thermaltake 750W
16 GB DDR3

Motherboard outputs are only for the built in GPU on your CPU!
Monitor cable is video cable that goes from the video outputs on the computer to the monitor! With a working card the motherboard outputs should not work only the ones on the card! If you are getting video through the motherboard output with the GTX760 in it is not working (motherboard is not detecting it installed) but looks like the other one is but you have to connect the monitor cable to that card to get display.
So to make sure that your GTX760 is not working are you connecting the PCIe power from the PSU directly to the card???

whats is the monitor cable, aslo I just updated BIOS to the most recent version. As far as when I go to Board setup everything else that is needed is plugged in, then I hover over PCIE slots and they are all showing up empty. I plugged in another graphics card and the motherboard DVI output would not even come on, unlike when i have the GTX 760 in (only) the motherboard DVI output would work.

I don't know to much about your model of board but you will have to disable the on-board GPU before install the dedicate card.

that might help.

or it might be the PCI-E slot are defected. if the problem still won't go away when you put in a difference PCI-E slot, than disable the on-board graphic "that built in the CPU.
