Recently built a gaming pc and the graphics card doesnt put out a signal no matter which display port its hooked up to. Tried clearing cmos, nothing. Tried a different graphics card, nothing. Tried graphics card in another pc, worked fine. There is no onboard graphics so thats not an issue. Rebuilt the thing 3 times, made sure everything is seated right. Im completely stumped.

PC Specs:

Antec Nine hundred case

Amd fx-8320 3.5ghz

Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 mobo (dual uefi bios)

2x4gb 1600mhz corsair vengeance ram

asus 7770 2ghz gpu

RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W psu

wd blue 1 tb hdd

no opitcal drive yet

Hmm...if you tried another gfx card and that one didn't work either, but the card you swapped out worked in another PC, I'd replace the Motherboard - should be under warranty, sounds like its faulty.

Is there any way to test the mobo? I got given all the parts because they couldn't figure out how to put it together.

Pro tip...and I mean this in the best possible way - do not use PC parts from a dumbass who does not know what they are doing (unless they have not been opened yet)...nearly always they have cocked something up (and they know it) and they pass it to you thinking you can make it work...then you end up on Tom's asking for help :)

Just to check, did you connect the power to the GFX card? of course you did, but just checking...the simple things right?

If the card worked on another PC, replace the mobo - its the most likely suspect

Might also add - you said you were given all the parts...by chance you didn;t receive it with the MOBO already installed in the case? Check that they put the risers/standoffs in the case between the MOBO - if they didn't do this and it shorted...it'll be fried.

Yes i connected the power to the gfx card. Also all the stand offs are in it, but i dont know if they had them in originally (they said they tried to figure it out a few times). I'm almost positive that it's the mobo being bad or them messing it up. Its on my list to replace when i can.
