Hey guys,
So, I built a new computer today and everything seemed to be going smoothly, but on startup, with the DVI plugged into the graphics card, there is no connection to the monitor. Everything else runs fine, all fans, including the graphics card and CPU fans run and there are no beeps. But, if the DVI is put into the motherboard, I get six beeps. Anyone have an idea of what I can try, or what the problem might be? Specs are as follows:

AMD Richland FM2 A8-6600K Black

MSI A88X-G43 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Rosewill Stallion Series RD450-2-SB 450W ATX V2.2 Power Supply

ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM

Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

HyperX Fury Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model HX318C10FRK2/8

PNY VCGGT640XPB GeForce GT 640 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Thank you for any help that you are able to give me!

Hi -

Try taking the video card out plugging directly into the MOBO (if you haven't already.)

If this works and then the card doesn't, then it's something wrong with the card. Not seated well, needs to be replaced, etc.

Also, have you tried posting this question to an MSI forum? MSI might be in a better position to tell you what the 6 beeps means.
