Monitor Won't Display After Installing Graphics Card
So I just built a new computer with the following components:
Intel i7 4770K
16GB Corsair RAM
Asus Maximus VII Motherboard
Samsung Evo Series Solid State
850 Watt Corsair Power Supply

I have read numerous other forums about how to fix this with no answer. If i boot without the Graphics Card it works great with no issues at all. However, when i install the graphics card nothing boots up. The fans go and everything starts like normal but i get no output on the monitor. I've messed with the settings in BIOS and still nothing. I have my roommates computer and plugged it in there and it worked fine so i know the graphics card is good. ANy Ideas?

I think that's kinda what I just said about the bios display setting.
a b U Graphics card
a b C Monitor

Does the graphics card show up in your BIOS settings? Are you running Windows 7 or 8/8.1?

You might have to connect the monitor to the mobo (with the GPU installed), and switch from the mobo's onboard graphics to GPU installed on PCI as the default video device - save settings - power down, switch connection to GPU and boot.

In the bios did you change the display to PCI? There also might be a jumper setting but I doubt that. Bios'es will sometimes have a section that allows you to switch from intergrated to PCI bus which would be your card.
