[Urgent] My Monitor Turns On But Nothing Is Being Displayed [Urgent]

[Clarkeboy]

This is an URGENT post.

Hello guys. I have had my rig for just over a week and my computer seems to run perfectly fine and the monitor turns on except NOTHING on the screen displays.

What I have tried:
-I have put the ram in two different slots, Grey/Grey instead of Black/Black
-I have also made sure everything is in properly and securely

I have a lot to do over the next few days, this is quite and urgent matter. I'll try everything you guys comment and hopefully this can all be resolved every soon.

Thank You for your time.

WE need to know what your components are.

If your using a video card make sure it is connected to the right port. All cables must be secure

Press the auto setting on your monitor when booted up or restore the monitor to factory settings using the buttons

What video card is it? I had the same problem with an AMD Radeon HD 6670 from iBuyPower, and it turned out the card was defective. It worked right out of the box, left it for a couple days, and when I come back suddenly no picture displays on the screen. It sucked to find out that it was true, but the good news was I had just bought the PC and they gladly gave me a new video card at no cost. Seems like it may be the same for you, since you say it's only a week old.

If the video card is not the problem, change your PSU to a 600W. The 500W psu might not be enough power for your build.

make sure there are no bent pins on the cpu(I had the same problem with an 8350)

Questions

1. Did you build it yourself or did you buy it?
2. Has it ever worked properly?
3. Are you driving the monitor from the correct ports on the GPU?
4. Is the monitor set to receive the input it is receiving?
5. Do things work when you remove the GPU and drive the monitor from the motherboard alone?

Might be a faulty psu but my psu uses nowhere near 500

It's all about trying to isolate where the problem might be. Thanks for the responses. Let us know how it goes when you drive it from the motherboard.
