Howdy all-

So, first time doing a build your own PC, so pardon my noobery.
My computer will turn on (chassis fans all work, LED's light up, Optical Drive will open, processor heat sink fan is running), buuuuut nothing comes out of the video output nodes... My MoBo / Processor is using integrated graphics; no discrete graphics card.

I tried using a brand-new VGA cable, and the monitor recognized that it was connected, but that no video was coming out.
I hooked it up to my TV using the HDMI slot, again no connection...

Any ideas why this is happening? My thoughts from other forums is that it's most likely my MoBo itself... Can someone please save me that heartache?

Here are my specs for PSU, Processor & MoBo:

AMD 3.8 ghz quad core processor w/ integrated graphics (http://www.microcenter.com/product/414784/A8_6600K_Black_Edition_39GHz_Quad-Core_Socket_FM2_Boxed_Processor)
Asus MoBo (http://www.microcenter.com/product/423952/A88XM-A_Socket_FM2-FM2_A88X_mATX_AMD_Motherboard)
Power Supply (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=407827)

Thanks for reading and answering!

Checked the list prior to posting... but will try a few things again.
Only thing I don't have that would be helpful is a system speaker for beep codes...

Am thinking of going to Micro Center here soon anyway, may just go pick one up real quick

Went back to the vendor to exchange / return the motherboard/CPU after I could not get a beep or display output...
Put the new MOBO & CPU - BOOM! worked perfectly. Not sure which one was bad, or it could have been both... but i didn't have spares to test, and Micro Center would do a straight up exchange (if there's one in your area, BUY FROM THEM! Best prices and way faster customer service than an online chain. Brick and Mortar FTW.
