I built my own system back in December.
Corsair 540 Cube, Asus Maximus VI Hero, GTX 760, i5 4760k, AX850 PSU (replaced with an AX860i), Corsair H100i with an Asus VG248QE Monitor.
I purchased the black Corsair 540 Case, everything was fine, setup worked great.
I decided to get cheeky and get the White version of the 540, just transfer everything over. I as well, decided to sleeve my own cables which did not work out so great at all.
Everything is in my new white 540, plugged up, looking great and ready to go. I go to turn it on and nothing. The mobo is showing life. My GPU fans are working, the cases fans are working, but when it boots up, the screen says no DVI signal. I checked the connection, from the monitor and on the GPU and everything was connected.
I decided then that I would try an HDMI cable instead of the DVI. Nope. The possibility of the monitor being bad is low in my opinion, but I tried hooking it up to my tv. Nope. I hook my laptop to the monitor, and the monitor pops up showing whats on my laptop. Isolation of issue, not the monitor.
I tried to take out the GPU and place it in another PCI-e slot, nothing.
I mentioned I sleeved my cables prior and that did not workout so well, so I went back to my AX850 Corsair and had the same result. Everything boots up, fan controller works, DVD works, GPU fans spin, its fine.
What am I missing here? Is the MOBO bad? Is my GPU not good anymore? I do not have another GPU to try out or put it in someone else's PC to test. The only other thing I can think is something happened when I tried my re-sleeved cables and they were not re-pinned correctly and it fried something???? Just guesses at this juncture. The older but never touched AX850 though was giving the same result, so I highly doubt its the PSU. As well, I am wondering if that particular MOBO has an on board GPU that I could boot the PC with as well as to isolate another possibility?
I am new here and have seen how the forums work. I appreciate any feedback here and tried to give as much detail as I can. I looked up over the boards, but trying to find an exact replica of my issue was a bit hard to find, so I do greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks
Eric
