Rebuilt system, now there's no display

builder-inator · Apr 10, 2014

Hi everybody.

I recently got a new case so I de-assembled my PC and rebuilt it on the new case. I was able to successfully turn it on to test it but it was not connected to my monitor so I switched it off using the button on the power supply and didn't turn on the computer to remove the electricity .

So I took it to my monitor and set it up. Everything turns on, all fans are running including the graphics card's fans but I get no display.

Specs:

CPU: AMD FX 6300
Motherboard: MSI 990FXA-GD65 (no integrated graphics)
RAM: Corsair XMS3 1x4GB
GPU: HD 7790
PSU: Corsair VS550

Things I tried:

Rebuild- no result
Connect to TV- no result
Use old case- no result
Try different PCI-E slot- no result

Wouldnt hurt to clear the CMOS

Also double check EVERYTHING to make sure its all properly connected

I selected your answer as solution by mistake.

I have a clear CMOS button on the board, do I press it while the computer is running?

simmons33 · Apr 10, 2014

I cleared it.

Video is corny as hell but you should get the point

Didn't work

simmons33 · Apr 10, 2014

You checked all your Cables? Including the PCI-E Cables that plug directly into the Video Card?

builder-inator · Apr 10, 2014

Yes. I just checked everything. I could even post pictures

Recently built a new PC, and everything looked great - until I turn on the power: nothing. I just forgot that the PSU had its own 'On' switch. Is there a 'power' or 'sleep' switch you have forgotten, perhaps on the monitor?

builder-inator · Apr 10, 2014

PSU only has the normal on/off switch and have never encountered with a sleep button on my monitor also I tested with two different monitors

Ill admit that I am stumped

I used to mine crypto currency and one time it said GPU: dead instead of 1 but that was a long time ago and I haven't mined ever since (got too scared)

Frana1965 · Apr 10, 2014

Can you swap out the GPU with one that you know works?

builder-inator · Apr 10, 2014

I found an old one but that didn't work either

Frana1965 · Apr 10, 2014

Have you checked the RAM is firmly in place?

builder-inator · Apr 10, 2014

Frana1965 · Apr 10, 2014

Can you try 'your' GPU in another computer to test it? Can you try your monitor with another computer? If your GPU and monitor work independent of your rebuilt computer, I suggest that your M/B might be the problem - maybe damaged in the rebuild. Did you ground yourself while working with the components?

builder-inator · Apr 11, 2014

Now that I think about it, no I didn't. I am arranging with someone to test my GPU

builder-inator · Apr 11, 2014

Tested it out using a friend's computer and it still didn't work. So I took it to a local computer store and he told me it was my motherboard.
Sent it in and got a new one, everything is fine now. Thanks all!
