Hey all,
2 issues:
1. I was doing my build and was trying to troubleshoot why my Graphics Card's starts up then stops with no signal when plugged into HDMI. I have my HDMI set on my tv/monitor that was using to test it and it is connected to the MOBO. Why is it not getting a signal? Was trying to use the HDMIt until I got a new monitor/DVI adapter for VGI.
2. While trying to take out my GPU to troubleshoot the issue above my GPU is now stuck half way into the PCI slot. I unlocked the tab on the PCI slot and it locked back up while trying to take out the GPU out. It's stuck in the PCI on the lock side (right side). The Left side is half way out. I tried to push the left side back in but seemed like too much pressure on the PCI and the MOBO itself. Tried to push the lock down with a screwdriver while pulling the GPU out but again seemed like it wasn't budging and the pressure would seem to break the lock, GPU, PCI or the MOBO.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to screw this up more than it already is.
