Monitor (which definitely works and has been tested on another PC) won't detect any signal from new build. It's plugged via DVI into the GPU (and there is no onboard GPU on the motherboard to try). The case does not have an inbuilt speaker either so I can't use beeps to work out the problem. I have tried checking all the connectors and cables, swapping RAM in various different ways, etc. Thermal paste is all present and correct. I suspect the problem may be that the PSU does not have enough wattage to cope with the other components, but I'm not sure. The lights and fans all come on when it's turned on but no signal from the monitor.
Here are the components:
AMD Bulldozer FX-6100 Socket AM3+ 6 Core Processor (Black Edition) - 3.30GHz, 3.90GHz Turbo
Asus M5A78L/USB3 Motherboard (Socket AM3+, DDR3, 5200MT/S, ATX)
Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card ( specifically the "Double Dissipation" tweaked edition: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-fx787acdfc[1] )
be quiet! BN181 Pure Power L8 530W CM Modular 80+ Bronze QUIET Power Supply
Lite-On iHOS104-06 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Drive
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)
Zalman Z9 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case
If anyone has any ideas/suggestions about what's wrong and any solutions, I'd be very grateful.
