My build won't work and I can't figure out why

[Mattophobia]

First off, specs:

Intel 3930k
Gigabyte X79S-UP5-WIFI Motherboard
Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866Mhz 32GB
XFX ProEdition 1000W PSU
GTX 780

The machine is built and everything turns on when the power switch is used (Fans, lights, ram, PSU, etc). However no signal is passed out of the graphics card. I did some digging and found out that the X79S-UP5 has a issue with Titan grade GPUs. So I tried booting with a GTX 560 which I know works, along with it's cable. I still got the same black screen. It could be a BIOS issue but I can't seen the screen to update the BIOS (Blind attempts have failed). All power cables and Motherboard cables are correctly connected. The motherboard CPU connectors have also been examined and show no signs of damage.

So, what the hell is wrong with it and how can I fix it?

EDIT: The motherboard does not have a integrated video output, so that is not an option.

Does your monitor have right input source?

Indeed it does. The monitor is also working as is the input I'm using.

Take out the gfx card and try plugging the monitor cable into the motherboard. See if it works that way.

Or plug it in directly and let the card sit in it's place and install the drivers, reboot your system and try again by plugging into the graphics card.

Heya,

The motherboard doesn't have integrated video outputs. 

 

Does the motherboard make any beeping sounds when you try turning it on? If the 560 defo works and it still doesn't boot up, it could possibly be the memory. Have you tried posting with one of the memory modules?

It does not, it doesn't have a speaker to make noises even if it wants to. Hm, I'll try some different memory modules.

Have u tried on different pci-e slot?

[mvitkun]

Not even HDMI... That's kinda lame even if it is for the enthusiast platform.

Its because the CPU its self does not have a iGPU on the CPU

Huh, so apparently the memory modules were in the wrong slots. This is why you shouldn't let relatives help you. thanks for the help!
