Hello!

Just built my new computer, everything seems fine but after rebooting/resetting, computer has power up (fans are spinning and light are on), but can't get signal on monitor or keyboard/mouse.

I have to shut down my computer's power and start it again. Then it starts normally. I just installed my drivers for motherboard/graphic card.

Motherboard: Maximus hero VI
Graphic card: MSI gtx 750 ti
Processor: Intel i7-4790k
Power supply: Xigmatek 600w

All the cords are plugged right etc.

 
Are there any system beeps? Whats the Q code on your board when you try and turn it on?

Without knowing anything else, try this:

1) Double check the cords. Yes I know you said you checked, check again. Its the easiest fix half the time.

2) Check the connection on your CPU fan port. System will not start if its not plugged in right.

3) Check the PSU connections, specifically the 8pin 12v port by the CPU.

3) Unplug everything that isn't needed for BIOS to start. Unplug any fans (excluding the CPU fan), drives, etc. Just run the bare essentials.

4) Re-seat your RAM

5) Re-seat your CPU

6) Jumper the motherboard to reset it to factory default.

7) Try a known good PSU. If you dont have a spare handy (cuz not many people do) try seeing if you can borrow a friends. Your PSU might just have kicked the bucket.
