No VGA or HDMI with New Motherboard

[ericvon]

Hello, I have an MSI 880GMA-E45 with built in graphics, an AMD x6 1090t, and a 500W PSU, I believe I have everything connected correctly. I've tried starting up with different RAM inputs with 1 stick of RAM. Yet, I still get no output from my VGA or HDMI ports. I'm lost in what to do now. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

I did all this. Reset the CMOS and still a no go on the video. I don't get it.

Have you updated the bios.
Bios v17.4 is required on your board for a 1090t to operate.

MSI Reminds You...
• The HDMI and DVI-D ports can not work simultaneously.

I've never updated my BIOS, don't know how without any video. Does 17.9v include all the stuff 17.4 does? Should I try to update to 17.9 or 17.4?

How can I update if I can't see the BIOS screen? That's my problem

I'm far from an expert but maybe the only thing affecting you is the onboard graphics.
Do you have a discrete gpu you can try?
I would try that next and if you still have no display contact MSI.

No I don't have one since I don't play games. Just the built in graphics is all I needed but I'll contact MSI and see what they say.
