So i just got a new motherboard and i installed it inside my PC, its my first time doing that so im not sure is everything is connected propely. But im in like 80% sure that it is since i was following the guides. When i finished i placed my gpu inside and the pci cables are in as well same as the power cord cable. Everything seems fine because when i boot the pc every fan is spinning and there a no beeps. The rams are fine i checked 100 times. Also when i open up the dvd rom it opens for a second and closes straight away.

what are the specs of your mobo and graphics card? Does your mobo have integrated graphics where you can try and see if it posts without the graphic card in it?

you make sure the graphic card is completely seated and clicked into place? Your power supply has enough power to handle the wattage? if you have a hdmi cable you can try connecting that to a monitor if you have one that supports it or a hdmi tv for testing purposes.

The gpu is seated perfectly. My power supply has over 750w so it can easily handle it. I already tried the hdmi.

you have both 6 pin power connectors connected to the graphic card? does your monitor have an input setting on itself you have to change like to dvi or hdmi?
