I was assisting a friend in building a pc as I have a few builds under my belt, I plugged everything in properly, while plugging in the graphics card I scratched a little bit of the motherboard near the far edge.
Everything still lit up properly so I assumed I was fine, all fans on (including gpus) and everything but my pc will not display on a monitor, no bios or anything!
So I tested monitor, was working fine, changed from avi to hdmi, nothing still, plugged it into me gpu, nothing, plugged it info my mobo on board video, nothing. Reset my cmos battery nothing..
Some things to mention, I just upgraded from an HP desktop about 2 years old, to a new barebones pc. The only parts I kept from the HP was 1) 2 sticks of ram 2) hardrive (completely reformatted blank) 3) disc drive.
My only thoughts are 1) ram isnt compatable ( idk why ) which is causing it not to post
2) my scratch fkd up the mobo to the point where I need a new one.
Lights are on mobo and everything seems to be working so I hope I dont have to scrap the mobo, any ideas people
it was my friends xmas gift I feel terrible)
