So I recently just finished building my first computer and when I went to boot it up my monitor said no signal when it was connected to the GPU. The onboard graphics work just fine but when the computer is standing up and the monitor but when it is connected to the GPU it says no signal. When I was testing without a GPU it was on its side because i removed it and then I installed the GPU when the computer was still on its side, tried again, and it worked! I then stood the computer up and tried to put and it gave me the no signal message again. I then tried it again standing up while applying force to the GPU and it worked then! So I think the problem is that the GPU might not be getting a solid connection? When i was installing it and trying to screw it in, the holes didn't really line up so I had to kind of move it a little to be able to screw it in, and now I am thinking that is what is causing it to not form a good connection. Any ideas on how I can get it to connect properly and screw it in at the same time? Thanks
