1st Comp Built. Z87 Pro. Bios will not start on monitor?

[sithramir]

Ok I built my first computer. Everything is connected. I turned it on but the bios will not show up on monitor.

I have monitor connected to motherboard (it's old and wrong connector for GPU and my new monitor comes monday).

Motherboard has the Legacy Boot Event LED QCODE on it.

I've hit the "directkey" button which starts bios but nothing. I booted holding in the delete key with nothing and I also did CTRL-ALT-DEL and hit reset button with nothing. Checked monitor connections.

What can I do? HELP? Not even sure who i'd talk to (other than forums) to solve this

I suspect your motherboard has detected your GTX780 and has automatically directed the boot image there.

Remove the GTX780, and you should be able to go.

Once you are able to connect a monitor to the GTX780, reinstall it.

Try leaving single RAM module installed, remove the graphics card, connect the monitor to the onboard (use the VGA port), optical drive, keyboard, mouse, make sure taht both 24 and 8 pin power cables are connected and start the board.

The guys above already pretty much solved your problem and I hope it works.

But I just wanted to say that your build looks sick on paper, I'm putting one together within the next 2 weeks with about 95% of the same parts. I just don't think I'll be putting a 780ti in though, not enough cash

Happy gaming!

Yay. That was the problem. Thanks for the help everyone.
