My monitor won't recognize my computer. I recently installed a new motherboard and my monitor just won't respond to it. Here are my specs.
Asus Deluxe Gen 3
HD 5870
i5 2500k
Ripjaws G Skill 2x4gb 1600
Western digital 1tb 7200rpm hard drive
Well everything seems to work fine on the computer I had to rma an old mobo because it was stuck in a power loop. The new motherboard has no onboard graphics. My monitor automatically detects what I'm using (DVi VGA Or hdmi) I'm using DVI and whenever I take out the plug it says check signal when I put it back in the monitor says that it couldn't recognize anything and goes to sleep. I plugged in my computer in a tv with an hdmi cable and the tv doesnt recognize anything, idk what to do.

Ok so I figured out that a ram slot wasn't in all the way now I'm constantly getting the bsod with the error code 000000x3b or something like that which means I have a problem with my video card. I don't get them in safe mode. But I formatted my HDD and started reinstalling windows and I recieved another bsod and now windows won't uninstall or install. Just goes up to an error code saying the computer shut off unexpected got and windows 7 will continue to install after you restart your computer. I get that message over and over again. I'm freaking out because I bought all my parts for my computer I basically wasted 800 dollars for something that doesnt work. It's too late to rma the parts and I can figure out what the fk is wrong with my computer and I don't want to take it to geek squad because they'll tell me I have a hardware problem and they'll charge me 200 bucks and not solve the problem.

Anyways I fixed the problem of the Windows not installing thing and I'm tryin to reinstall it. I switched my ram sticks around and switched the power pins from my graphics card around and so far no bsod.
