Hi,

I recently built a pc, and first it booted. but with white stripes all over the screen and after booting up again. It doesnt boot at all. I thought that the gpu was the issue, so i changed the gpu but my monitor still doesnt recognize any input? Can you guys help me out?

AMD FX8320
Asrock 970 pro3 R2.0
8GB ram
gtx 670 windforce oc
CM G750M (750Watt)

Ok so no video can be caused by a lot of things.

First I would recommend taking your motherboard out of the case. Leave only the processor and 1 stick of ram installed. And then install the GPU into the board and try to start it up. You can either pull the power button from your case and plug it in to try it, or you can use a screwdriver to short the pins that the power switch plugs into. See if you get any video. If you do not and you have another stick of ram try that.

Try this first and report back, this is your starting point.

It doesnt recognize the gpu, and the first gpu that i put in was a gtx 580, which had white tiny stripes all over the screen, and then it just didnt recognize the gpu anymore.

Ok well that sounds like a bad GPU, so that one is done. As for the second one, is it brand new? Can you double check that its fully seated?
