hey just built my first pc everythings connected, double checked everything but when i turn it on there is no display on my screen. tried both my old pc screen and the hdmi on my tv. dont know what else to do. the cpu fan is working and so is the fan on my gpu so i dont think there broken.
ive also tried the ram on different sockets and using only 1 at a time and nothing changs.
re inserted the graphics many times still nothing.

-amd fx 4130 cpu
-gigabyte ga 990xa motherboard
-saphire hd 7750 gpu
-corsair vengence 8gb lp ram
-corsair cx 600m psu
-sharkoon t28 case
-western digital 600gb hard disk (from old pc)

It seems like you are doing everything right, but you could have gotten a defective GPU right out of the box. That is likely, but try unplugging it and plugging it back in a few times. You may have just been unlucky and gotten a defective one. Send it back and get a new one!

okay i have tried something else, i took out my mobo put it on the box and plug in the pwer supply and shorted the power button did the paperclip testthing with speakers. there was no beep, then plugged in my GPU and it works now!! im gettin a display on my screen, so the motherboard cpu and gpu are fine. so i guess it must be the stand offs shorting my motherboard? forget to mention that when i turn it on the fans sound like there revving up like a car
