What are your full hardware specifications?

Have you tried going into the BIOS with the display connected to the motherboard video output, finding and changing the settings from onboard/integrated graphics to PCI/PEG graphics which are for your graphics card, saving BIOS settings and then shutting down and switching the cable to the GPU card and then powering back up?

Or, connecting the display cable to the graphics card and doing the following procedure.


BIOS Hard Reset procedure

Power off the unit, switch the PSU off and unplug the PSU cord from either the wall or the power supply.

Remove the motherboard CMOS battery for five minutes. In some cases it may be necessary to remove the graphics card to access the CMOS battery.

During that five minutes, press the power button on the case for 30 seconds. After the five minutes is up, reinstall the CMOS battery making sure to insert it with the correct side up just as it came out.

If you had to remove the graphics card you can now reinstall it, but remember to reconnect your power cables if there were any attached to it as well as your display cable.

Now, plug the power supply cable back in, switch the PSU back on and power up the system. It should display the POST screen and the options to enter CMOS/BIOS setup. Enter the bios setup program and reconfigure the boot settings for either the Windows boot manager or for legacy systems, the drive your OS is installed on if necessary.

Save settings and exit. If the system will POST and boot then you can move forward from there including going back into the bios and configuring any other custom settings you may need to configure such as Memory XMP profile settings, custom fan profile settings or other specific settings you may have previously had configured that were wiped out by resetting the CMOS.

In some cases it may be necessary when you go into the BIOS after a reset, to load the Optimal default or Default values and then save settings, to actually get the hardware tables to reset in the boot manager.

It is probably also worth mentioning that for anything that might require an attempt to DO a hard reset in the first place, it is a GOOD IDEA to try a different type of display as many systems will not work properly for some reason with displayport configurations. It is worth trying HDMI if you are having no display or lack of visual ability to enter the BIOS, or no signal messages.



It is important to make sure there are no damaged pins on either end of the display cable, that it is fully seated in the graphics card, that the graphics card is full seated with the PCI slot lock fully engaged and the card fastened down to the back I/O panel and in some cases even try a different cable TYPE.

Also, it would be helpful to know if there is no display at ALL, or just no display once the system starts trying to boot to Windows AFTER it has already displayed the POST screen during the POST process.
