HELP cant get monitor or keyboard to work on new PC build

[caluton]

I am having a hard time with my first gaming computer. Everything looks to be in working order. All the fans come one and I can hear everything working (I hope) but I cant get the monitor to come on. The keyboard is also not registering any of the caps lock or numlock. Help?

Here is my build. I need help bad. Would a video of the computer help?

Can you describe what exactly happens when you try to run your pc with the graphics card installed?

I also had a similar monitor problem with my new graphics card.basicallly my monitor had a vga and the card didnt so i have to buy an adapter now 🙁
the thing is as soon as i plugged the PCI-E cable in the card it worked perfectly.
so the only thing i can thin of is the cable the mobo or the card itself

 

[orestidilli]

the video will definetely help
also try testing your graphics card on another system
that way we know the card is ok so we narrow down our options

 

[caluton]

Sorry to be tedious, but you DO have the 6+2pin cable attached to the graphics card, right?

I have no idea what I did but it is now working. I made sure to clean all the contacts and stuff and it worked. No idea if that was it. But it looks to be working. However the fans are not on. Is this normal?

 

[orestidilli]

The fans on the graphics card dont operate untill it is needed to.
What i mean by this is that your card doesnt have to go full on extreme usage to watch a youtube video.
When you start playing games the card will work harder therefore generating heat and thus the fans will turn on to cool it. If the card is hot and the fans are not on you have an issue.But i doubt it.
Anyway glad you fixed it 😀

I hope I did. I do have one thing I hope its not my new rig. I tried to ori and everything is running super slow. I mean real slow. Even when all my specs are way above what is needed. What could be going on?

 

[EchohcE]

to ori? Could you rephrase?

 

[caluton]

to ori? Could you rephrase?

The game ori and the blind forest. I have played it on a diffrent computer and it runs smooth and fast

When I boot it up on this computer it runs super slow. I have all the specs that are above what they say are needed.

 

[EchohcE]

Is that the only game that runs abnormally slow?

I got it working, it just had to update all the drivers. Thank you so much for your help. You were a big help.

No problem, that's why we're here.

Well I am back, now its for a different computer. My mothers. She has a HP envoy phoenix, that the water cooler is going out and she just got it. She called and HP no luck so i would like to replace it myself it just comes down to finding a part that will work with it.


here the computer cpu fan

 

[EchohcE]

If she just got it and it's under warranty, then don't replace it yourself. Contact HP until they honor their agreements.

I agree with EchohcE if the unit is under warranty make them replace it. a mishap removing the old one could, (rare incident) cause it to leak all over something not liquid friendly.
I have never been a fan of liquid cooling myself.
that looks like the cooler I replaced on my nephews system. I installed a coolermaster tx3 and the cooling is better than the water unit, just as quiet too.
a 3rd gen i7, it may not be under warranty.
if you must replace yourself, wrap the pipe connections with something absorbant, just in case.

Well the problem is we have to ship it back to them which we found out will be $60 because it had to be sent by UPS and all this crazy stuff. So she just wants me to replace it.

 

[R_1]

if you can procure another cooler the same as the one in there then the install should literally be 8 screws. 4 holding the fan/radiator to the case and 4 holding down the water block.

if you get another model cooler, an air cooler or a larger water unit the procedure will almost certainly require removal of the motherboard and replacement of the backplate behind the CPU socket.

Can/will HP advance ship the cooler, you pay for it they ship it you send in old one and get refunded for the purchase? that would be the ideal situation.

go with air cooling you won't regret it later down the line. i wouldn't dare place a liquid cooler on my build for the reason of it leaking over that i5 6500 skylake cpu. dam no. for a good decent air cooler get the hyper evo 212

 

[R_1]

the coolermaster Hyper 212 evo is the cooler I am using for my system, cool and quiet and no chance of leaking.

yea get it for your mums build as you know how good they are. hope your mums still working is it broke i have the be quiet dark rock pro 3 what a cooler barely hear my need to go real close like right up to the case to even hear it run. also those temps are 20-30 idle under heavy load 40-50
