Well, recently I purchased components to make my own computer (thank you Black Friday!)
I had purchased...
A Gigabyte GA-990FX revision 4.0
An AMD 8350 Processor
A Sapphire Raedon 290 Tri-xx
A Rosewill Hive 750watt power supply
A Hyper 212 Evo Aftermarket CPU Cooler, and case fans and a case itself.
So, after hooking all of this up and putting my graphics card in, my computer itself beeps up. I know that the graphics card works, and I know the motherboard works. The graphics cards three fans can be seen spinning, and the Hyper 212 Evo plugged into my 990FX itself is blowing air.
However, whenever I plug a DVI cable in the graphics card to get an image onto my monitor, I get a NO SIGNAL.
To confirm that this wasn't the graphics card, I had taken out my 545 GT from the Alienware x51 I had bought three-four years ago and swapped it inside, it had its fans spinning and was not working either.
I swapped PCI Express slots, but soon discovered no matter what my monitor had a NO SIGNAL error. The internal speaker that came with my motherboard has not said a single thing (though, to be fair I messed up it's pins and went back in to fix them.) Even after several reboots, there is no short beep there is nothing.
I think the NO SIGNAL could be caused by my monitor having to readjust sizes because my new components don't have any drivers installed on them?
Also, I had an old hard-drive that I had forgotten to wipe and i intended on wiping with my new Windows 7 disc. Could that be a problem? Would I have to wipe that before putting it in?
This is my first computer build, and I'm a fifteen year old so I'd appreciate any help / scholarly advice you can give me.
If this is the wrong board for this, I apologize.
