Question No signal on monitor

[posttoastfost]

Tried troubleshooting, the only component that i think may be the problem is the gpu. I just built this pc. The fans work fine. The fans on the gpu work fine. I've checked all the wires. I've checked the psu. I've checked the cpu and ram. Yet all i get other than the spinnign fans, is a red vga light and boot light. And yes, I did plug the hdmi into the gpu. When i took out the gpu and turned the pc on, the only light that stayed on was the vga one. The problem is the gpu right?

Have you connected all required PCIe power cables to the card? Try also the second PCIe slot.

It wont fit in the first slot

 

[alexoiu]

Why not?

 

[posttoastfost]

Why not?

The motherboard has bad placement. The fan connector by the ram, obstructs a full sized graphics card, i have no way to fix that unfortunately.

 

[posttoastfost]

Why not?

So i can only instal it in the 2nd slot.

Try disconnecting the RAM fan and testing the card in the first slot.

I cant. Its the small fan that comes attached to the motherboard thats obstructing me.

Not sure what fan you mean. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570 Phantom Gaming 4/index.asp
From what I see, you should be able to install the card in the first PCIe slot.

Im talking about the little fan with a 'G' on it. The little cover it has is too thick.

That fan is designed to accommodate installation of a long GPU.

Do you have the proper standoffs installed between the motherboard and your case?

Yes

 

[COLGeek]

Yes

If that fan is blocking a GPU, then something is out of place. That is the concern here.

The first slot is the one closest to the CPU. Correct?

It wouldn't hurt.

Okay. Please let us know the results.

 

[posttoastfost]

Okay. Please let us know the results.

After I installed the motherboard back into the case I noticed that there are two extra stand off screw holes that I didnt screw stand offs in. The pc case did not come with that many stand off screws so I assume those are just extra holes. I installed everything else perfectly. Im still getting the same problem. Im afraid the way I built the pc isnt the promblem. I think the problem is the motherboard or the gpu.

 

[posttoastfost]

Okay. Please let us know the results.

Im just gonna find a pc repair place, since they'll be able to test out the gpu on another motherboard to find out if the problem is the gpu or the pcie slot. I just don't think there's anything else I can do here. Thank you for the help.
