Help! New build won't show video!

Bulma_Fett · May 8, 2014

So I have a new build that I put together and I double checked everything. When I power it on all the fans spin and it looks like everything works.. But no image shows up on the monitor. None except for "No HDMI Signal" I've tried DVI HDMI and VGA and none work. Also my optical drive does not open unless I press "restart" on the computer then I have a window of 3 seconds to press eject and it immidiatly closes. Please help

Presuming you're using a GPU is it properly plugged in to the PCIE slot, give it a little force and make sure it clicks in, also make sure the power is plugged into the GPU.

If you are using a GPU, is the monitor connected to the GPU or motherboard?

IRyannHD · May 8, 2014

What are your system specs? it might not be enough power for the PC...

Do EVERYTHING listed here.

List your specs first and then we can tell you if it's simply a power issue.

tiny voices · May 8, 2014

I HIGHLY doubt it is a power issue. Even a 350w unit could boot an i7, gtx780 build easily. It would just shut down when under load.

tiny voices :

Unless it's a generic make or doesn't actually deliver the required power over the 12v rail, may be 350w but if it cant actually send the required power or close to the required power over the 12v rail then it can cause issues.

tiny voices · May 8, 2014

It would still boot. Nothing is under much load at idle. Even a gtx780ti only uses 30w at idle and a CPU will use less than that.

Even is a build pulled 600w under full load, a 350w unit should be able to boot it easily as it will not pull much power at idle. Even SUPER high end builds barely pull 100w at idle.

tiny voices :

I agree although a generic PSU has terrible capacitors, if they blow then it renders the PC useless, very unlikely but just a simple spec list can help.

tiny voices · May 8, 2014

He would have heard a capacitor fail I believe. The are NOT quiet if they explode, but it would be much more likely that they leak, not blow.

I had a cx600 fail on me. That was exciting to say the least. lol

tiny voices :

Yeah, leaked/blown, somehow broken it's a possibility but unlikely, I remember having a capacitor blow, scared the crap out of me, especially since me and my friends were talking about weird and spooky stuff lol.

I'm using a 750 watt power supply.. It's not a power issue. And i've double checked my graphics card. it's mounted properly. All the fans are spinning and i've tried using the graphics card and mobo ports and nothing.. I've re seated my ram. and tried that power button + power cord trick.

Bulma_Fett · May 9, 2014

My specs are:
Rosewill blackhawk case
Rosewill Hive 750 PSU
Intel i5-4670k
Evga GTX 770
Asus Z87-A
Gskill 8gb ram DDR3
Coolmaster hyper 212 cpu fan
Rosewill wireless PCI card

And yes i've checked and made sure everything is compatable

Update: I used my test speaker and I got 3 beeps one being long that looped.. I don't know what this means and I cant find its beep code anywhere. Please help
