Hey guys,
So I built my first computer today and could'nt have been happier when everything turned on. Unfortunately when I connected it, it appeared to have no signal. I removed the gpu and now I'm getting a signal. My question is, how do I determine if it's the GPU or the motherboard that's the problem? I heard crackling of pins as I inserted it which made my heart drop as it's a $500 gpu so I'm not sure which component is damaged. Thanks for any help.
Edit: I'm 99% sure it's in the right PCe slot. I put it on the top one with this motherboard --> https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/mpg-z390-gaming-edge-ac. It's also an RTX 2070 gpu.
I'm also downloading windows 10 now. Maybe there's a program I can run to further identify the issue. If so, let me know.
