Hey there,
So I built my first PC, fired it up, and I saw the lovely BIOS screen. I was planning on installing an OS via USB, so I went to change the boot order. No USB option, so I just switched DVD drive to #1 and HDD to #2. I saved changes.
It asked me to insert the media, but I didn't have it at the time so I simply powered down. The next time I turned on my PC... no visual!
The monitor says "no signal", and it recognizes a cable disconnect when I unplug the VGA.
I went in and made sure the VC was secure, and it was. My Z77 Pro4-M mobo has HD audio right beneath the PCIE slot I need to use for my VC, but it still fits snugly. Everything is plugged in and powered.
My question is, how the hell do I have video one day and suddenly not the next on a new PC???
