Hey guys,
I am building a computer for the first time and I've been hitting some troubles. I assembled everything on the motherboard and decided to boot it just to make sure everything works fine before putting it in the case. When I turn it on, my cpu cooler works fine but my gpu doesn't. The gpu fans spin for only a few seconds and I don't get the vga signal to my monitor like I should. Also even though my power supply provides the power for the cpu cooler to function, its own fan doesn't spin and I don't know why.
My friend took the gpu home to try it on their computer and they said the gpu still didn't work so at this point I think I need to get a new gpu?
I also want to make sure my power supply is fine and wonder if I can go ahead and put the motherboard in the case anyways and attach a gpu later when I buy one.
Thanks for the help!
