Now, I've built it. but my monitor wont work.
I'm using it on a dvi connection and I've tried manually setting the input to dvi but no connection.
Here's some images to prove the build is working itself (probably)
Edit: Yes I have one of the cables going right up over the mobo because it was too short to go round the back
The build does not have the graphic card in as I haven't received it yet and was building as a test run
Initially I thought this may have been a faulty DVI cable but then I was advised that my mobo is B150N and requires an update to the bios before using a kaby-lake processor.
So what I've done is ordered a Celeron G3900, I'm going to install Windows and update the bios using that before switching back to the pentium G4560 (and probably returning the G3900).
Are there any other possible causes of this?
**for further explanation as to what happens when I boot:**
It turns on, the LEDS light up, fans whir, all seems to be working as intended, but monitor just stays blacks as if it isn't connected to anything. Have tried setting it manually to DVI [strike]intake[/strike] input (as thats the cable im using) but to no avail as likelyhood is that mobo doesnt recognise cpu
