Hi guys its my first build and i have a gigabyte mobo, i was able to install os and other drivers but when I removed my optical drive and booted my pc i was getting HDMI No Signal on my monitor and i noticed that the led on my mobo is on CF, i was wondering what CF could be, and could it help me determine why im not getting signal on my monitor?

The CF code on a gigabyte motherboard stands for "CMOS Integrity Check" jumble the words and i guess your mobo is checking if your CMOS is honest lol, as for msi motherboards it stands for "Test CMOS R/W functionalitySix Modules"
