Hey guys! I just build my first pc yesterday and was disappointed to find out that my new gaming pc will not connect to any monitor. But the monitor, gpu, and fans all start up. I have connected it with hdmi and display port to two different monitors, and to the motherboard and gpu with hdmi and displayport. I cant even get to the bios screen! I have used my monitor many times before, but only with HDMI. I have checked to see that all of my parts are compatible too. I am very confused. I could use anybody's input, thank you!

Specs:
i7 8700
G skill RipJaw Series 5 16G DDR4
GTX 1080 OC DUKE
WD BLUE 500gb SSD

Monitor: Omen Hp

 
Solution
what motherboard? psu?
unplug everything, only plug in CPU, 1 stick of ram (try different slots too) and plug monitor cable into motherboard + PSU. Can you boot?

Hey thanks for the response! Sorry I forgot to mention. The motherboard is the Msi gaming plus, and the psu is the Corsair CX Series 750 Watt.

And Ill test it out when I get home thank you!
