As the title says. I am currently in the process of building a new PC, and I got everything hooked up the way it was supposed to be. All fans are running (CPU, graphics card, main fan), lights were on, things looked to be working beautifully. I know that this is not necessarily signs of a successful boot, but I thought it should be mentioned.
However, when I hooked up my monitor, it did not receive a signal. I thought at first that maybe I had plugged something into the wrong somewhere, but I read later that the motherboard might be at fault if a monitor is simply not receiving a signal. I decided to test this by plugging in my keyboard and mouse; the lights on either of these failed to work as well.
So the main question: is my motherboard at fault for this?
My PC specs:
Motherboard: MSI A78M-E35
PSU: Corsair CX 430W
Hard Drive: Western Digital Black 1TB
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon R7 260X
Processor (CPU): AMD Athlon X4 260k
RAM: 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport
