JUMPERMAN

Hey thanks guys so much for the help, i cleared my CMOS and placed the video card back into the PCI connection. and just like you said it worked. Thanks again for the help guys!

how do i clear the CMOS without a jumper?

How do i get it into safe mode when i have no display??

yeah i did all of that. the ive disconnected the GPU and ive tryed running it off the IGPU again and nothing....... slightly worried hahah

So i recently built this PC 2 months ago, ive been using the onboard graphics up until today when brought a GTX 980. i installed the 980 and the computer turned on however there was no display, i removed the card and tryed again and once again no display. does anyone have any ideas whats wrong? PC specs: CPU: i7 4790k CPU cooler: DEEPcool gamer storm maelstrom 240 MOBO: gigabyte ga-z97x-sli RAM: 16gb hyper x 1866 PSU: HX 850i GPU: On board igpu / gtx 980 Case: NZXT H440 Thanks for the help guys !!

thanks for the feedback guys!

but im not sure about the quality of the psu. You see it onlys says 88% peak efficiency which isnt a real measurement apparently according to linus's techquickie video on choosing the correct psu. he also states not to buy a psu with only peak efficiency advertised and not continuous. but please correct me if im wrong.....

no, 2 windforce g1 GTX 970's eventually.....

Planning on an SLI configuration in the future

ive been looking at the cougar CMX1000 V3 1000w 80 plus bronze modular PSU for 150 Australian dollars on PCCaseGear and it looks like a good deal. what do you think? are the specs any good? thanks for the feedback.

I'm getting my first dedicated GPU, I'm not sure what to get, as these to cards are almost identical price at this time in AUS. (NOTE: the 780 is 140 dollars off original price and the 970 is RRP). Now I don't care about temps or noise I just want bang for the buck and raw compute performance!!!!!!! Anyways have a good one! Thanks for the replies!

Does the Gigabyte GA-Z97X support the intel Core i7 4790K out of the box without any bios updates or crazy modding and tweaking? Does this motherboard also support the new GTX 970 GPU? intel Core i7 4790K: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27940&cPath=1490 Gigabyte GA-Z97X: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27610&cPath=1491 Thanks for the replys, have a good day!
