So I dropped by microcenter yesterday, and picked up everything I needed for my new PC build. Dropped a good amount of money, only to come home, put it all together, and have it not work. (Actually first, I was dumb and forgot to hook up the 8 pin CPU Power cable) When I squared away the power cable, I still had no display when I hooked it up to the monitor. All the pretty lights came on, but no picture, and the mb gave me an A2 Q-code. Googled it, fixed it, blah blah blah. Got a signal on the monitor and installed windows. Then it came time to install the GPU and it drivers. This is where the most frustrating problem came up... So I keep everything plugged in i had plugged in. Turned off the computer, unplugged the AC cord, put in my GPU nice and snug, hooked up what i think are the right cables (my biggest suspicion is wrong cables or not enough power). But this time when i turned the computer on, nothing... no signal on the monitor. I still get the windows startup sound, but no picture. Ive tried it with and HDMI hooked into the GPU and the I/O in the back, and a VGA in the I/O... nothing. Took the card back out, and boom, picture on the monitor.
