Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this.
I recently put together this PC: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/32ZTK
I made sure everything was connected properly and booted the computer up. The lights on the tower turned on, the keyboard's backlights lit up, and all the fans spun, including the ones on the GPU. However, my monitor which was plugged into the GPU showed "No signal." While looking at the monitor, the computer turned off by itself. I turned it back on and all the fans were spinning again and the case's power indicator was on, but the backlight of my keyboard didn't light up and I still had no signal to the monitor.
I moved the monitor's plug to the onboard and it still showed no signal. I moved the ram around with no success. Finally I disconnected the GPU and plugged the monitor in the onboard slot, and it booted just fine with the keyboard's LEDs lighting up again. The computer booted and I was able to install Windows. I then powered off and tried moving the GPU to my other PCI slots but they didn't work either. I also tried resetting the mobo, with no success.
I made sure that my GPU was properly powered with the PSU cables (8 pin and 6 pin plugged in), I moved the RAM around, but no success. I installed the OS from a flashdrive because I don't have a disc drive, then tried to install the NVidia drivers, but it doesn't let me do that without the GPU in.
Since all the other components are working fine and the PSU is pretty good (600w) I don't think there is an issue with it, although I could be wrong. I don't have another PSU to try so I may have to just buy a new one. I've heard that resetting the CMOS could work, and to check my LED connectors on the mobo. I will try these when I get off work today.
What do you think the issue is related to?
