Yeah pretty much @minibois

 

Because everything is working but I'm not getting any signal. Only thing that I have to change is the Motherboard. Trying to buy local (facebook Market place) so it doesn't take as long to get here. Anything I should be looking for..? 

You should be looking for AM3+ motherboard, those are usually 970 and 990FX motherboards.

Are you positively sure it's the motherboard that is faulty here?

So I have to change my motherboard - here is my current setup:

 

processor: AMD FD6300WM6KHK 2011                
motherboard: M5A781-MLX-PLUS*                     
graphics card: GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 960        
power supply: ANTEC 620w                                             
ram: KINGSTON 8GB DDR3 (KVR16N11/8)

 

I'm buying from someone and these 3 are my only option:

-ASUS B250H ROG

-GIGABYTE B365M DS3H

-GIGABYTE GA-H170-D3H 

 

I'm asking on here because I couldn't find these motherboards on pcpartpicker...

 

thanks!

Are you asking if those listed motherboards are compatible with your current CPU? Because they all are NOT compatible with your CPU.

as @minibois has said, none of these are compatible with your current CPU.

You're running an AMD FX 6300, which is an AM3+ socket.

All three of your listed boards are Intel 1151 socket boards.

You're unlikely to find a new AM3+ socket motherboard, meaning you're going to be looking at the used market, or rather I would urge you to consider an upgrade to a Ryzen system at this point.

@Semper Thing is.. I've got an old system laying around and I'm trying to sell it. I already got someone who's interested but can't sell him an pc that doesn't boot (no signal). I have to change the motherboard.. I think this one will work? 

-ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+

Yeah that's the only thing left; I've tried everything else.

To make it a bit easier, here is a list of motherboards that would work:

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#s=4&xcx=0&sort=price

Note that most a 970 or 990FX, other than Asus who has names like M5A.. etc. etc. like your current board.

 

Or you can begin to consider an upgrade, which would require a new CPU and RAM

So i changed my motherboard to an: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ and everything works like a charm. Still have no idea why it didn't work. At least my system works perfectly but still have no idea why my motherboard "Worked" but didn't allow me to get any signal.. ? Weird, Thanks for all the support & comments!
