Your psu is a little underpowered for the build. Very likely to be the source of the problem.

Also try plugging in the displays to the gpu, i'm sure you've tried this but just for good measure.

the processor does not have built in graphics, so it must be plugged into the gpu (to my knowledge, not overly familiar with that processor series)

Go through all the steps in the link in my signature and let me know what happens after that.

You sure? Because I have a better build than his, running on 450w?

430 is on the low side, but should be fine for your build.

Cheers for replying bro. I'm getting my friend to check through the guide. We'll see how it goes.

Still not working for him. Any other suggestions?

Do you get any kind of beep codes when the motherboard turns on? You may try calling MSI support to see if the motherboard is on the latest BIOS, may need a flash.

Nope no beep codes at all, it just switches on and doesn't display.

I'm lol'ing so hard. His TV doesn't support the HDMI he's using. Sorry to waste everyone's time, hahahah!
