So, I tried to boot up my PC after doing something, and it boots, but no signal is thrown at the monitor. I tried pulling out my GT 730 and plugging the VGA cable into the mainboard, but it still didn't do anything. (Of course I had the PC turned off when I pulled out my GT 730.) And I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. Anyone got any ideas?

My specs are:

AMD FX-4300 QC 3.8 GHz
EVGA GT 730 2 GB
EVGA 500W PSU (80+ bronze)
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 MoBo
(Not important but I'm still gonna add it:) AOC E2070Swn 1600 x 900 60 Hz 19" monitor
 


Haha... actuallly the storage portion of my sig is out of date now. I now have a 500GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD and a Toshiba 2 TB hard drive... but yeah for awhile there I was really hurting for space 😉

Keep in mind, if you're just breadboarding you don't even need a good PSU. You could even not connect any hard drives just to see if you can atleast get an error on your monitor
