Hello everyone, here is my build and I will now proceed to ask a couple questions: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bsB3D8
1. So I finished building my PC, double checked and everything is where it should be, and whenever I try to use both the GPU's and the MOBO's HDMI ports my screen will stay black and won't give any signal, at first I thought it could be my mobo's bios needing an update, and took the PC to a shop, when they were updating the bios they noticed that only the DVI port would give signal to the screens, so my question is, could this be a driver issue that once I install them my HDMI ports will be fully working or is there something wrong with my mobo? Worth noting I live in a 3rd world hellhole where finding a DVI-D adapter is difficult but I would like some input regarding my issues before proceeding
2. Back when I was building my PC I had to unscrew the front metal plate from my r9 280 so it would fit inside the case, and while I was doing that there was a small spark in the place where I was unscrewing one of the screws, below one of the DVI ports in the front plate, could that have been static electricity? and if so, what are the odds that broke my GPU? The fans still spin and it seems to work normally but that's been concerning me.
Thank you to all of those that offer their advices/input.
