    New Built PC keeps RESTARTING after new windows install from USB

    Yes, the GPU is connected and the lights are on. The fans are also working. I have tried connected either the GPU to the monitor, motherboard to the monitor, or both. Still no signal. And yes I did change the channels on the monitor from HDMI1, 2, to VGA.

    New Built PC keeps RESTARTING after new windows install from USB

    Well I have no way to check that as there is no video coming into the monitor, although my motherboard is rev. 1.0 so there might be a newer version available but even if there is, how would I update the bios as there is no video on the monitor?
