Ive checked to see my VGA has power and the fans are on so it does. And its plugged into the pci express slot fully. I connected the hdmi cable to it and to the monitor but no signal. Everything seems to be running in the chassis. Will the vga have hdmi capabilites without the drivers. There is no vga option here so what do i do?

CPU 5820k intel i7
Vga- EVGA GTX 780 3Gb
Gskill 32gb RAM
MSI sli plus motherboard

No it was totally no signal. BUT i used a different connection. I used a dvi connection. Good news is that works! Bad news is it only works on 8gb of RAM vs the 32gb i am trying to install. The G-skill Rip Jaws 8x4 32gb DDR4 RAM. Weird. Should i buy a different brand of ram

Firstly thanks for the help. I tried 24gb in the configuration that my mobo gave me, that didnt work. then tried 16gb in the rec configuration only worked when i only tried 8gb. Really weird. I donno Ive sort of been reading about this brand and that it may have some problems with this motherboard. Just wanted to know if there was something to do in the bios where I could possibly fix it. Ill try each stick in the first slot see if it works.
