Wouldn't be defaulting as you're using the hdmi out from the video card as you said.

Have you tried the clean install option under custom?

I know you said you're using the card's hdmi and am sorry but just double check you're using the correct hdmi as mentioned :), it will be horizontal orientation. Motherboards can have hdmi pretty close to the graphics card and can easily be mistaken.

Did a clean install under custom did not try that until now 100% sure plugged into gpu hdmi cable horizontal and on the back of the case. the gpu I/O sit a slot below the Mother board I/O of those removeable plates you pull out the back.

yes completed successfully the custom clean install took longer than when i just did the recommended. i also tried to plug the hdmi cable into the motherboard to see for some reason if it would install but i get no signal to my display is this because it is using my gpu btw thanks rob for the replys so far :)
