Hi, all. First off, I made a similar post on whirlpool.com, but unfortunately the post gathered very little attention. I realize that there are quite a few threads concerning a similar problem, however I think I've looked through most of them, and have not been able to solve my issue yet.
A computer that I've been building for a while now gets no video display on my reasonably old monitor. The monitor relies on VGA, so I bought a DVI-D to VGA adapter from eBay, however, I am reasonably sure that the adapter nor incompatibility with the monitor is what's causing the issue, as I connected the GPU to my television via a spare HDMI cable, and got the same result. In case you might need it, here's exactly what's in my build:
-Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
-GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970
-CPU: AMD FX 6300, 6-CORE BLACK EDITION, 3.50GHz (default cooling unit)
-Disk drive: LG GH24NSC0/D1
-RAM: 2 x 4GB DDR3-1600 RipjawsX
-Wireless card: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 N900
-PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 ATX12V/EPS12V – 750W 80 Plus Gold
-Storage (primary): Kingston, 120GB SATA3 SSD
-Storage (secondary): Western Digital, Sata3 1TB 7,200rpm HDD
-All other peripherals/accessories, such as the monitor, keyboard, mouse, I am reusing from my other PC.
It is worth mentioning that the GPU I received in the mail appeared to have been damaged, as some of the heat sink fins are bent. I plugged in the system warning speaker, but get nothing upon entering, what I assume is, the boot cycle. Also, The fans on the GPU do spin, which means that it is getting power from the PSU.
One more thing, the HDD status light located on the front panel of my case does not light up when booted, which leads me to believe the system hasn't done anything other than enter the BIOS menu (I pre-installed a copy of Windows 7 on the SSD). If I think of anything I should add to this, I will do so, and if anyone expresses interest in trying to help me solve this, I'll upload images of my build to create a clearer image.
If you could offer any advice on this matter, I'd be very grateful.
