I was trying to install my new graphics card and I had to take out some wires to do that. After I was done. I forgot where I took out all the wires from. When I turned on my pc everything ran including fans,dvd drive, hard drive and everything was running but no display, I tried both inergated vga and graphic card vga but nothing. please help.Also there was no startup sound so im guessing it's the wires. I also took out every wire ram processor one by one and turned on the pc every single time i took some thing out I didn't take out the main 2 power cords that were connected to the motherboard. I think i might've damaged the intergated vga. but when I tried the graphics card vga nothing happened please help.......

Wires? What wires do you even need to take out installing a graphics card? I am very confused. Hardware is a plug and play product. It doesnt need wires taken out aside from 6pin power cords.

No display = go into bios and set primary display adapter to PCI-E.

If that doesn't work then you obviously have no clue what you were doing.

What I've think you've done is you unplugged the PSU cords going to the GPU card and forgot which PSU Cords go into the GPU. I believe you are plugging in the wrong cables. Look for a 6 pin or higher cord.

I doubt its the 6 pin. He said he doesnt know "which mysterious wires he yanked out" that I doubt is power cord, since its pretty obvious on that part.
