Hi guys, I ran into a bit of a problem today. So I put together my entire computer and plugged the monitor in with a vga cord and everything seemed to work fine. Then the next day my gpu came in and so installed that. I then proceeded to try the monitor again and now it didn't work. First I tried using an hdmi from the gpu to the screen. That didn't work as it didn't even recognize it being there, so then I tired vga from gpu to screen and that didn't work either. I then tried the vga in the mobo and was surprised to see that it also stopped working. The screen just goes into energy efficient mode or something and the screen goes back to sleep. All the fans and everything else seems to be working just fine. Someone please help, I'm freaking out

I haven't even installed an os yet. All I did was test if everything was working or not (which it was before installing the gpu). I'm very confused and don't know what to do at this point. And yes I connected the 8 pin connector
