I recently built a computer with the following specs
Motherboard- MSI A78M-E45
Processor- AMD A10 6800k 4.1 GHz base ,4.4 GHz with turbo boost
Graphics card- XFX Radeon R9 270
Power supply-EVGA 1000 G2
RAM- G SKILL ARES 16 GB
Memory- 2TB

After building the computer I tried starting it with the Graphics card in and got no VGA signal . I then took the graphics card out and got the computer too boot up. I have installed the drivers for the graphics card but every time I try to start the computer with the graphics card in it does not get a VGA signal. I have made sure that the power to the Graphics card is plugged in and have tried looking for many answers online but haven't found anything that works so far. If anyone has any suggestions please help.

Since the XFX 270 doesnt have a VGA port, you are plugged into the wrong port. You are most likely plugged into the VGA on your motherboard. Which of course, is the wrong place to plug your monitor into. If you only have VGA on your monitor, upgrade.
