[JuniorC122]

I need some help, yesterday i had recently bought a brand new IBuyPower GamingPC exact model number is the BB971, i do not know if it needs something internal that needs to be connected, but i just connected the power supply and the keyboard and mouse, along with the HDMI cables, Graphic card is all in there connected tightly, it turns on From what i see, but it will not connect to the computer monitor i have, i’m not sure if it’s not compatible with it because it should be. I need some help!!!!

Okay, what monitor do you have and how are you connecting to it? HDMI cable or Display port?

Make sure to connect the display cable to the GPU (bottom ports, above the PSU)...no to the motherboard (top ports)

As above make sure you have the HDMI connection coming from the GPU not the CPU igpu which is further up...Connect to the monitor.

What would the GPU look like in this case?

Just to be clear you have a GPU HDMI port which is at the back of the PC near the middle. That is where the HDMI connector connects to your GPU (graphics card) and from there it goes into the monitor...

Video below for your PC at 3 minutes 32 seconds covers this.

The GPU is the long graphics card with the copper pipes that sits horizontally across your PC...the connections for the HDMI cable is at the back of that long GPU.

I cannot find the video source lol

That is how your PC should look like from the inside and make sure all the cables are attached like in the picture just in case one slipped out by accident..

This is a link to your actually ibuypower PC and within this page is a link to the video but I have posted a picture of your actual PC which shows the Graphics card the long component with the two copper pipes. Go to the rear of the PC and where the graphics cards rear shows and you will see a place to install the HDMI cable to the Graphics card and then the other end to your monitor.
