Hello, I am not sure if this is in the right forum, but I built a gaming pc. the specs are:
i5 - 3570K
Gigabyte HD 7570 2GB
Zalman case
2 4GB sticks of ram
MSI z77 motherboard
120 GB SSD
750 PSU
I built everything and only had one stick of ram in, the computer worked perfectly, detected video card, ran all my programs, got steam and did a canirunit test and could play everything. I figured I would try to install the 2nd stick of ram so I did, then there was the little warning sign next to the shutdown button on the windows menu, so I shutdown to update, and it installed update 1 of 1 and powered off. So I went to turn it on and NO DISPLAY. so I waited a little bit and shut off. I forgot that it was updating, so now when I turn on the console, no display. I am not sure what to do in this case.
EDIT: took out and reinstalled 1 stick of ram, and took out video card, plugged in VGA cable to on board card (was using HDMI from video card) and powered on. everything worked fine, a few screen flickers but mostly ok, then there was a message that intel graphics were working and no AMD?Gigabyte stuff was in, and a restart update so i did that, and am back to win 7 login screen. Shutting down to install second stick of ram to see if i can pinpoint it as a videocard issue.
EDIT: added 2nd stick of ram, had to do a small bios reconfig, and reboot, ram works fine, computer recognizes it, will now try video card issues.
