i recently built a pc. when i turn it on, it seems to boot normally, but my monitor does not turn on. ive tried pretty much everything; plugging it into different ports, using different cords, different monitors, but still nothing. my specs are as follows:
Intel Core i7 4770k 3.5Ghz Quad Core
Nvidea Geforce GTX 760
8Gb DDR3 Ram
Asrock Z87 Pro 4 motherboard
Please help!!!!

By every port did you try the motherboard? maybe the GPU isn't activated in the BIOS yet, if you tried it i would try to change cables perhaps? HDMI/VGA, but yo ualso probably tried that too...

That's what i said, you SHOULD be getting a display, at least in one of the 2 ports (GPU or MB) if you aren't something is wrong, that is why i asked, can you test another GPU? so we can instantly deduct it is your 760 the one that is defectuous

Well then we have a problem, without any tests i can't do anything, anyone that can lend you a gpu? any friend or something that can help you with your problem? someone should see that pc, did you assemble the PC? or did someone else did it?

do you know for certain if the corsair psu works? if it does, i would try it with that psu. If the system still doesnt start, the psu isnt the problem. Im pretty sure 600W is enough. But first, here's a checklist of things i would do, im not sure if you've done them yet or not. if you have you dont need to again:

1. make sure the case standoffs are not shorting the mb, make sure all power connectors are plugged in
2. try booting without the gpu plugged in, with the monitor connected to the motherboard's igpu. if nothing works, could be psu, mb, cpu
3. check ram: only put in 1 stick, if it doesnt work try the other stick, if that doesnt work try a different slot. repeat. if nothing works, the mb could be DOA, or it could be cpu, gpu(if not removed, which it should be for this step). continue with list.
4. check psu: try replacing with a working psu with enough wattage to start, first without the gpu and then with the gpu.

dirst try these things, if anyone else has a troubleshooting idea feel free to add to my list by replying
