Just finished building a computer for my brother using:
Intel i5 8600k
Gigabyte RTX 2070
Asus Rog Strix B360H Gaming motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 16Gb ram
450W Corsair psu
A full description of the issue:
I built this PC with my brother just this morning using the components listed above, and after completely putting it together we decided to turn it on for the first time and see what happened. I plugged it in and switched the psu on, and the motherboard immediately lit up so I assumed we were in business. I press the power button and the fans start spinning and the computer generally sounds as if it’s booted up. I’m pretty excited it’s gone smoothly at this point so I plug the hdmi cord into the graphics card and get no signal on the monitor even after waiting 5 min or so. My first thought is not to panic, maybe it won’t pick up the graphics card off the bat (same thing happened when I built mine) so I powered off, switched the HDMI to the port on the motherboard, powered back on and still get no signal. At this point I’m starting to get nervous so I check the graphics card just for fun and notice that the fans aren’t spinning at all and it’s giving no signs of life for such an expensive graphics card. I’ve done my homework on issues like this, so I immediately powered off and made sure everything was connected properly including the ram, card, psu connections to the motherboard and card, etc. then power back on and still nothing. I’m concerned the graphics card was shipped dead at this point which would be very disappointing given the price obviously and the hassle, but I’m also concerned there are bigger issues here since nothing I try seems to fix it. I also tried a dvi cable from the motherboard to the monitor because this motherboard doesn’t have vga.
Any help is very much appreciated, I’m kind of freaking out over here. Thanks!
