Without another cable it's gonna be hard. Only things you could try would be another port on the TV. 

 

I can be a bad cable, bad port on the PC, bad port on the TV, settings to change in the BIOS...

 

EDIT : I guess that's plugged in the 970 ? If so, is the card sitted correctly and powered with the 2x6pins power ? The fans are spinning ?

on the gpu it shows 1 hdmi thing but it is too small for hdmi to go into

I'm not aware of a 970 that don't have an hdmi out. Mind to post a pic ?

@iou64

 

To use that 970, you'll need to plug the cable in it. If you're using the HDMI port of the motherboard, you're using the onboard graphic. The card won't output through the motherboard's outputs.

You're fucked . 

 

You'll need a adapter for which seems to be mini display port to HDMI.

i dont know what that means im just trying to get something to show up on my screen which is not working do i need to use my gpu for that

[iou64]

why?

[iou64]

Yup. If you want to use onboard graphics you'll need either a VGA or DVI cable. But if you have a DVI cable, the port on the far left on the external card will work. I've never seen a 970 with 3 mini display ports.

[dmegatool]

Theoretically that HDMI out on your motherboard should be working. But it won't be using your 970. I don't know if it's because the card is plugged in that it's turn off or you need to set something in the BIOS to use it...

 

Maybe somebody else could help you get this computer working using the onboard graphics for now. But you'll definetly want to plug your monitor directly in the card. Be it with a displayport cable or an adapter to HDMI.

i also got a dvi to vga thing with the computer

[LudoTheGreat]

You will need a DVI to HDMI cable, display port to HDMI cable, or a Micro HDMI to HDMI cable to use the Video card in that thing. Not sure that the Micro HDMI port will work out of the box on your card with out some tweaking though. I would try and get a DVI to HDMI cable or a display to HDMI cable. 

 

In an attempt to get the onboard graphics card working with what you have, take the graphics card out. See if the HDMI on the Motherboard will work automatically.

 

Alternatively you can use the DVI port on the card to plug into a monitor that has DVI for the mean time, if that is an option you have available.

[iou64]

will the dvi  work for sure?

[LudoTheGreat]

will the dvi  work for sure?

DVI from the card to the monitor should work without issue. DVI, in most cases, is pretty much the same thing as HDMI. Just not as convenient to use.

[dragoon20005]

by default when you plugged in your dGPU the onboard will be de activated

 

if you need to get the display working

 

remove the GPU and reset the BIOS and hopefully the onboard display will work

[iou64]

i got it working thanks for the help guys used a vga thing with a dvi to vga  adapter
