[dragonsinner griffin]

I have 12gb of ddr3 ram

Is the monitor cable plugged into the GPU display outputs?

Is the GPU properly seated in the socket?

Has the system booted normally prior to the installation of the GPU, such as with the previous GPU? (FX CPU's don't have onboard graphics)

 

There is the possibility that some of the components may be dead. If you have another GPU, plug that in and then plug the monitor cable into it to see if it boots. If not then it would most likely be an issue with other components.

The hdmi and vga are in the fan spinns and it did boot normaly prior to installation. And my amd radeon r7200 series works in it.

Okay sounds like a very dead GPU in that case.
