I Have a warranty on every part, and I honestly have no idea why I'm not getting a signal to the monitors. I even tried it on my other monitor which has both a vga and a dvi connection. I took it apart and put it back together twice, removed the cmos battery and replaced, switched the ram from each slot. Took the graphic cards out and tried to boot from on board graphics... no signal Please help me, because this is my first time building a computer, and I am completely frustrated.
 
Have you booted it from the gpu on the processor yet (the connector on the motherboard)? You probably have to set the main output port to your pci-e device in the bios.
 


uh I don't know what you mean. Ive plugged in the dvi and the hdmi to the gpu and started the computer, if that's what you mean by booting.
 


Everything spins, graphic cards cpu case fans, power supply, led lights are on, optical drive and all works.
 


On your motherboard there should be a dvi/vga/hdmi connector too, have you tried it?
 


yes ive plugged the monitor into that slot and nothing. it just says no signal.
 
Just a wild guess, long ago I had such a problem when I had my ram modules in the wrong slots. Usually its the 2nd and the 4th from the processor which are the ones that work.

Nevermind you tried that too
 


yeah lol, I do have another stick on ram coming in the mail tomorrow though, I'm praying that its just that simple, and the one I have now is bad.
