Building pc what am I doing wrong

[Apollo_3]

I think I have everything built for this new build. I hit the power button to go into the bios to set up windows and I have hdmi connected from the mobo to my monitor, and there is no display. How can I get the bios to display.

Do you have a graphics card? Use the port in it, not the motherboard

 

[CircuitDaemon]

How about listing everything you have and describing how you did it? There's no way for us to tell with no information.

I have a gigabyte z170 gaming 3 mobo
I5 6600k
Msi Gtx 960
8gb of ddr4
Rose will 550 photon gold plus.
Cooler master 212x

Plug monitor into 960, not motherboard, or remove 960 and plug into motherboard

 

[Apollo_3]

Even when I plug the hdmi into the Gtx 960 it still won't display

 

[bignastyid]

Try removing the gtx 960 and using the motherboards hdmi. Are both(8-pin and 24-pin) power connections plugged into the motherboard?

 

[Apollo_3]

Can someone skype me or FaceTime me to help me I have the 8 pin power in the Gtx 960 and the 24 pin into the motherboard.

Can someone skype me or FaceTime me to help me I have the 8 pin power in the Gtx 960 and the 24 pin into the motherboard.

There is also an 8-pin EPS power connector on the motherboard(top lrft) that needs to be plugged in.

I have the cpu 8pin plugged in also. Ok so I removed the Gtx 960 and is onboard graphics from the mobo and something finally showed. It says "reboot and pluggin something

Ok, so it posting but there's no os to boot to yet. Could be a bad gpu or the gpus hdmi port. You atleast should be able to use the system without the 960 to get the OS installed.

So what do I do next

 

[bignastyid]

Can you try another port on the 960(dvi or displayport)? I have seen a few cards that wouldn't display the bios through HDMI. You could also install the os and after that's done, reinstall the 960 and try again.

 

[Supahos]

He was plugged into the board not the 960, that was the original issue

 

[Apollo_3]

No when I unplugged the Gtx 960 and only used the board it worked.

 

[Apollo_3]

But I still can't get into the bios

 

[Apollo_3]

Do I need Windows on a usb to get into the bios

 

[Supahos]

Where was the HDMI cable plugged in before you removed the 960? There should be a screen where it'll say "press f12, del, or some other key" to enter BIOS

 

[bignastyid]

After pressing the power button press the delete key during post and it should take you to the bios.

It keeps saying this https://imgur.com/a/ihgGN
