This morning I was still running my PC and everything was normal. Then I decided to reinstall all my hardware, because I was hasty last time I installed the parts and wanted to do some better cable management as well as add the Wi-Fi adapter to my motherboard.
So I shut down my PC, took out all the parts and installed everything once again only to find that when I boot nothing comes up on screen, not even the POST/BIOS screen. When I plug a cable into the onboard graphics port you can see the computer boots up normally, only problem is that it does not detect a graphics card slotted into the PCI-E lane. I have already tried different monitors and double checked that the card is properly seated as well as receiving enough power so I immediately assumed that, obviously, it must be the graphics card that somehow received damage. Then I installed an older graphics card. that definitely still worked before I took it out, but still I have the same problem. Screen just stays black.
Does anyone have any advice? Bear in mind it's a brand new motherboard, CPU, RAM and HDD and that Windows does actually boot up when I use onboard graphics.
My computer hardware is the following :
MSI z97 Gaming 9 motherboard
i7-4690k
Corsair Vengeance RAM
Geforce GTX 770 OC
Samsung 840 EVO SSD
WD Black HDD
Corsair (forget the name) 1200W modular Power Supply
