Hey guys not sure if this is the right forum however I am having difficulty getting my computer set up. I have just had a built system sent to me and I cannot seem to get an output. I have tried multiple hdmi cables (that work with my laptop) to multiple monitors (that also work with my laptop) and I am getting no signal.

I have connected the hdmi through both gpu's and even the motherboard and there is nothing.
The computer seems to turn on fine, and no visible damage from transport.

The specs are:
GPU: Dual Asus R9 290's crossfire
CPU: Intel i7 - 4790k
Mobo: Sabertooth z97 Mark 1
memory: 16Gb corsair veng DDR3 (2x 8gb)
Os: Windows 8.1
Cooling: Corsair h100i
Case: Corsair c70
PSU: corsair rm1000

There are no vga outputs so i havent been able to try that, and i dont have a dvi but i dont really think it would make a difference?

Any help is very much appreciated!!
ps: The system booted fine before I brought it home!
Other than this i don't know much else about how it has been configured.

You won't get signal out of the secondary card, just the primary - or the integrated graphics from the cpu.

You have to join the primary card to the two monitors and set up the displays in Control Panel, Display Settings

Check that Crossfire is enabled in CCC

Sorry i might have worded this wrongly but I've only been connecting one monitor to one graphics card (the main one), havent gotten past the no signal yet :\

I've had a good look at everything and what's happening when i boot is that the VGA LED is staying red and the system won't boot :(

Just to update with the issue if anyone runs into a similar problem, i had a technician come and help resolve it. The computer booted perfectly fine with the graphics cards taken out, just running on the integrated graphics. There is likely a problem with one of the cards, or he thought it was likely an issue with the PSU to the cards, he is going to diagnose it shortly.
