Just built my first PC recently, and ran into an issue when plugging my monitor into the graphics card via HDMI. Initially, when I built my computer, I plugged the monitor into the motherboard (HDMI). Upon realizing this (PC boots up, get signal when in motherboard), I tried plugging it into the graphics card by following these steps (graphics card download via AMD website gave me error messages after 0% and 2% progress on install):

I installed Driver Fusion via Steam, but only the free version. When uninstalling the Intel Display Drive, I get the following message: " Some entries could not be deleted and require Driver Fusion Premium in order to be deleted. Would you like to take a look at the premium benefits?". Do I need to have Premium to completely uninstall the Intel driver? What else can I try? Completely green when it comes to building/troubleshooting/etc.

Graphics card has both the 6/8 PCEI connections plugged into the the card and PSU. Note that I initally installed the GPU driver with the disc provided. Fan spins, but that's it.

Here is my build, all new parts:
Intel i5-4460 3.2 GHz Quad-Core
ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150
Mushkin ECO2 2x4 GB DDR3-1600
Sandisk SSD PLUS 240 GB 2.5"
Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Video Card
EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Acer KN242HYL 60Hz 23.8" Monitor

Windows 10 OS (Education)
 
You don't really need to uninstall the intel graphic drivers. It makes little difference.

You just have to keep trying to boot with your gpu and the monitor connected to your graphic card directly. It's unlikely to be faulty but some users seems to experience that the motherboard is not detecting the graphic card installed hence no display is outputted from the graphic card.
