First of all, this is my first time posting in these forums and I hope I'm in the right area...
A few hours ago I finished my first ever PC build that I intended to use for gaming. BUT, when I switch it on nothing appears on the monitor.
My graphics card has no VGA port, only a HDMI and DVI-I port.
I tried using a DVI-D cable and my pc was not detected. Then I tried using a VGA cable with a DVI-A adapter/dongle, yet still no display.
So then I tried grabbing a different monitor and tested the previous methods with no luck, and then tried using a HDMI cable. Still, no display.
At this point I'm assuming the issue lies within my PC.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas that could help me fix this problem? I'm really hoping I haven't caused any permanent damage...
Video card: VTX radeon HD 7950 X-edition
Motherboard: asrock 970 extreme 3
PSU: coolermaster 625W
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
