I was putting together my first build today while a friend helped me, and when everything was installed and turned on. BIOS loaded fine, but then my monitor suddenly lost signal. We tried it again with a different connection setting, and it cut out sooner than before. We tried again with a different setting, and it refused to give any signal.
We tried different GPU slots, checked all the connections, reseated everything, tried a different monitor. Unfortunately we didn't have a different graphics card to test.
Could their be something wrong with the PCIe slots, or the graphics card? My mobo is PCIe 2.0, and my GPU is PCIe 3.0, but I thought they were backwards compatible. Thoughts?
My Build:
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
AMD FX-6300
Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclock
Corsair CX600 PSU
WD 1TB Blue HDD
Asus 23.6in VS247H-P LED Monitor
