Hi, I think I may have compatibility issues between my graphics card and my motherboard. I just got all new parts for my build but did not chnage out my graphics card just yet. When I turn my rig on, the VGA light goes on for about 5 seconds and turns off. When i connect my HDMI to my motherboard, it works fine but when I plug it into my graphics card, nothing displays. All my fans are working on my graphics card, everything is plugged in correctly. Can someone help me with my issue?

Regards,
Gianluca

Have tried installing the graphics card in the top PCI-E x16 lane? You will have to move that Wifi card though, that wifi card will also work in the bottom x16 slot even though its a 1x card. There are 2 other pins you need to plug in for the graphics card as well, some cards wont power up with out them 2 pins.

Also the top slot is wired for x16 speeds where the slot you have the card in now is only wired for x8 speeds, but x16 physical.
