After booting my custom built computer, neither the VGA nor the HDMI methods from the video card seem to emit any signal to the display. I have tested both a regular VGA screen and a modern HDMI screen. Both did not receive signal. Below are the specifications from my computer build:
- Intel Core i5 3350P
- ASRock B75 Pro 3-M
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST1000 DM003 1000GB
- Corsair Vengeance LP CML 8GX 3M2 A1600 CGB Blue (2 cards)
- Cooler Master B Series B600
- Club 3D Radeon HD7870 XT Jokercard
- Samsung SH-224 BB Black
- Sharkoon T28 Case
The motherboard does not emit any beeps on startup. The CD tray opens properly and all fans spin. All cables are properly connected. All components are new and no damage was found on any of the components. The fans on the GPU spin aswell.
The VGA test we did was by using the onboard graphics from the Intel i5, but this gave no result. The HDMI test was from the GPU which did not emit any signal either. We have not been able to test out the DVI, could this be important to test, even though all the other methods did not work?
I was unable to comment on specific answers due to the migration and re-registration of an account here. To reply to everything that has been posted thus far:
- Both the power cords are connected. The 8-pin, and the 24-pin.
- The graphics card is connected properly, as it is generating heat and the fans spin.
I have no DVI-VGA adaptor, but if this could be the solution I'll be off to purchasing one. The strange part is that everything works properly. Fans spinning, optical drive opening and trying to read a disk.
Try the DVI->VGA adapter on the 7870, see if that works. – Chris S – 2013-07-01T14:41:42.763
hi man this is off topic so anyway this happend to me when I forgot to connect the extra 9v connector from PSU to mobo, but like @chopper3 said... – Petter H – 2013-07-01T14:41:46.650
@PetterH There's no 9v power in a modern PC. Perhaps you mean the 12v EATX connector? – Chris S – 2013-07-01T14:43:17.693
1Why did you even hook up the CD and video card before testing the CPU and motherboard? You are making things much more complicated for yourself than they need to be. – David Schwartz – 2013-07-01T16:14:44.280
@DavidSchwartz I'm with you, most definitely... but it is common for people to assemble a system from the components they purchased, before they test them. Not necessarily good, but common. – Bon Gart – 2013-07-01T16:55:18.167
