Hello, I just put together my first PC, I followed some instructions on youtube and online and had some problems getting a display so i checked the troubleshooting thread which led me to putting together the computer piece by piece and determined that the GPU was the thing giving me problems.
CPU: i7 6700k
GPU: EVGA GeForce 1070 FTW
MOBO: MSI Z170A
PSU: EVGA 650 GQ
HDD: 1TB WD
SSD: 250GB Samsung
RAM: 2x G.Skill Ripjaws V 8GB
Things I Have Already Tried:
-I went into the BIOS and made sure the graphics boot from PEG or PCIE which it does. it said PEG.
-I have tried disabling the Integrated Graphics from the Device Manager as well and that did not work.
-A lot of other people mentioned downloading drivers but when i go to the NVIDIA website to download the drivers it says it cant find the hardware, obviously, since it isn't connected. If it was connected i would get literally nothing.
-Plugging the HDMI chord into the MOBO without the GPU gives me a display.
-Plugging the HDMI chord in either the MOBO or the GPU when it is installed gives me no display.
I would greatly appreciate any help from the community.
