Help on setting up computer

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 2:58 am

these are my specs:

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178333

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103894

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131767

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145299

DVD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289

I have put the CPU, RAM and GPU, connected the power supply...into the MOBO. I connected my VGA Cable to both the monitor and the GPU but no the monitor shows no signal and says it going back to sleep..? When I start it up all the fans go, the psu fan, cpu fan and gpu fan, but no signal? and ideas?

Are there any beeps? Did you make sure to connect power to the video card? Try changing inputs on the monitor? Make sure that both the 24 pin connection and the 4/8 pin auxiliary connections are in near the CPU?

Glad that worked. Yeah, almost all graphics cards need power. There are some low end models that get enough power through the PCI-E bus, but most require a dedicated connection or two.

I know how you feel man. When I was building my PC I got stuck for 8 hours trying to get the thing to go into BIOS. Turns out I had a faulty SATA cable hooked up to my SSD drive that was shorting out my MOBO. :P
