Plaayer Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Alrighty, so today, I got one of the most exciting box full of goodies, new PC parts. I put everything together and was excited to do the first power on. I turn it on, and plug it in into the monitor in the "office" room. What shows up on the monitor? Nothing. I turn it off and look inside to see if I missed anything. Nope. Turn it back on and still, nothing. Thinking the monitor was bad (which it isn't) I haul this big case into my room, to no avail... So can you help? These were my first assumptions: 1. Bad video card. 2. Bad power supply. (but everything else is fine) 3. Bad motherboard. tl;dr - no video and I need help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1ckkkkk Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Does the fan on the video card turn on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox* Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 does the computer actually come on or is the monitor just not coming on? if it's just he monitor not coming on then you did something wrong hooking up your video card. Or it was messed up in the factory. as what nick said also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^TheRumor^ Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Do you get any beep codes? Are the case/CPU/GPU fans spinning? HDD active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaayer Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 All the fans in the case are on and active. Both monitors work fine and the PC powers on. No beep codes are heard. The HDD light is solid, so Im pretty sure it's acitve, but not entirely. I really hope that it wasn't messed up at the factory or during shipping. Also, if needed to know the power supply is 750w, so it's enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Did you go into BIOS and set onboard video to your card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaayer Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 I haven't even gotten to the BIOS yet because I can't see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Are you sure the card seated in all the way? + has the extra power connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 yeah ^ make sure the four-way connector is in the motherboard from the power supply, the slots should be above or next to the cpu (on most mobos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaayer Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Yes. I took out the card and out it back in just to make sure and the 2 6-pins are connected. EDIT: I took everything out of the case and booted it outside. It worked! Not really sure what happened, but I'm not going to argue. I must have forgot one thing or another. Thanks to everyone who helped though! Edited January 4, 2011 by Plaayer Updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Is there power going into the proc? There should be a 4-prong connector to the left of the processor...is it plugged in? Also try taking the power out of everything else except the motherboard and video card, what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
