First PC build problem

Someonethatneedshelp · Mar 26, 2017

I just build my first PC but there a problem. Everytime I turn on my PC it works, but you won't see anything from the monitor or the display. I just realize that the graphic card is the problem, so I took it out and I can see something in the monitor or the display. But I don't know what's wrong with my graphic card. I just bought the graphics card a few days ago

My Spec
I3 6100
Msi 1060 6gb
GIGABYTE LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard GA-H110M-A
Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single
1TB WD Blue
500W Evga PSU
Thermaltake Versa H15

1) was the monitor plugged into the 1060 or motherboard? You want it in the 1060

2) did you have the PCI power connectors plugged into the 1060

3) are you sure the 1060 was properly installed (seated well)

First I'd boot up using the integrated graphics, don't install the videocard yet. Get the computer up and running, install Windows, update Windows, and reboot to your desktop. Try a couple of programs, not games, and make sure the computer seems to be running normally. Download the drivers for your card. Then shut down and install the videocard and make sure to connect the monitor to the videocard port and not the motherboard port. Install the drivers and you will be done.

After I'm done installing the graphic card drivers can I move the video card port to the motherboard port?

No, in order to use your GPU you must be plugged into the GPU
