Finished First PC build, turned it on, No signal.

[DustinEgle]

Been at this for awhile now and I'm about to bring it into a shop to figure it out...I completed my first build and when I went to boot it for the first time, everything turned on just fine. Fans. Lights...but my monitor just says "Displayport no Signal". I also tried HDMI to no avail, as well as my other monitor. Yes, I'm connected to my GPU, not my Moba.

 

When both systems are on with the displayport cable disconnected, and I plug it into the monitor, then the second i plug it into my GPU my screen turns on (just black), says No signal, the turns back off. So it seems like it's getting some kind of reading by noticing it's being plugged in. I've checked all my connections. I'm just lost at this point

 

Looked through my connections, made sure my ram was secure, turned the PC and Monitor off and on in different orders, I just don't know..

 

the only fans not turning on are my GPUs fans. Yet to see them turn, but I haven't had it running for more than 5 minutes. Any help would be appreciated

 

it may be unrelated, but also when I plug in my RGB keyboard  and RGB mouse (both corsair) they don't light up at all. Can't tell if they work cause obviously I don't have a screen lol. I figured I need to download drivers to get that to work but I figured I would give you guys the info since you never know..

 

I currently have an expensive paperweight...

Do you have another GPU to try? One really plausible explanation is that your GPU is dead on arrival. In practice, that happens at least somewhat frequently with any computer component and you can almost always get it exchanged for a replacement.

Unfortunately I do not. As it's my first build coming from console I don't have any spares. If all else fails bring it to a shop and see if they will test a different gpu?

Do you have any other desktops lying around? If so, you may be able to put your new GPU in them and/or take their GPU out and put it in your new build. If you don't see a discrete GPU in another desktop and plug into the motherboard video output on that desktop, then you can put your new GPU in a PCIe slot there and attempt to get a video output from that computer.

I do have an ollld LG desktop. I could pull it apart and see if I can swap GPUs and see if that fixes it. Will be a tomorrow test though because I'm beat.

Testing with that may not work. Be aware that older computers didn't use PCIe for the GPUs. As such, if you get it in and it doesn't work that doesn't prove that the card is bad. Getting it in and seeing that it works, however, does prove that the card is good. Also, don't run any graphically intense work loads while the card is in the other system as that could over load the power supply (I would be weary before putting it in at all).

Yeah I was a little concerned about putting it into the old PC. I do doubt it runs off of PCIe though. I may just pull it and send it back asap to get a new one here as fast as possible. In the meantime seeing what anyone else has to say. I may pull the GPU and take it with me to work and stop by a place and just have them check the GPU for me.

Steps to fix the Display Port: 1. Power off the monitor by pressing the Power button. Power off the PC as well. 2. Unplug the power cable and the DisplayPort cable from the back of the monitor. Wait 30 seconds. 3. After waiting 30 seconds, plug the monitor back in with the Power Cable and the DisplayPort cable. Power on the monitor and power on the PC. 4. Enjoy! Your monitor should be working now.

 

Found this on Youtube, If it dont work with pc off Then try letting the pc power up completely. Then try again.

Tried it but didn't work...I didn't think it would since it's not working on, now, 3 different monitors that I have tried.

 

I know some signal is getting through. Because with the monitor and PC turned off and connected, when I turn the PC on, the monitor lights up on it's own. But proceeds to say no signal afterwards then turns off. I hope it is a simple fix and I figure it out soon.

Took it to a local repair shop and they ran diagnostics on everything and the only thing they came up with is either the MOBA or CPU is having a factory issue. Going to order and try a new MOBA.

Try a different DisplayPort port. If that doesnt work, Try a different PCIe slot AND Make sure GPU power connectors are pushed into the PSU and the top clips on the plugs are straight and not angled.
