I have an AMD FX 6300, a GA 970A DS3P, CX 600, 4GB HyperX Fury RAM, WD blue 1TB, I can't get it to display using hdmi or dvi.

The mobo and CPU were fine about a month ago but have been in storage since. 

 

I have tried multiple slots, and disconnecting the HDD and disk drive but no luck.

Any help would be much appreciated

inb4 CX Hate, take out the PSU and test that it works by plugging it into the wall and jumping the two connectors.

If it powers on and stays on than its not your PSU and that's one thing out of the way.

Thats not the best way to test the power supply.

I know its not but if we're trying to eliminate possible factors than this is a quick and dirty solution- at least we know it powers on.

how old is the pc

 

EDIT: do you have a motherboard speaker on it? Dose it beep when you turn it on normally before it broken?

The only reused parts are the mobo, cpu and psu, everything else is brand new

The psu works, I tested it on an earlier rig.

Take out the ram and turn it on. See if the computer gives you crying peep code to you. if it dose then the motherboard power supply are working

Dose the pc have any integrated graphics? try taking out the gpu and using it. if you dont get another graphics card and see if that shows an image 

Afraid not, if it had I wouldn't have used the GPU in the first place. I'm going to try my R9 280x to check. However the fan spins on the gpu

just because the fans spins dose not mean it works. when you boot the computer do you see the HDD light going of as you turn it on? If it dose that means its loading the OS so the GPU must not be working correctly. Try another monitor or another gpu and see if you have input

There is no OS, I just wanna get to the bios first, which should be possible with the gpu shouldn't it? Unless it's defective.
