First Build not posting

[tucker556]

Hello,

 

I built my first build and its all in the case and the system will not output to a monitor. When I turn it on the fans in the system spin and the cpu fan twitches. Here are my components

 

PSU: Corsair RM 750

CPU: Intel i5 4690k

Motherboard: MSI H97 PC Mate

GPU: EVGA Geoforce 970

Case: Corsair R 300

HD: Western Digital Blue 1TB

RAM: 2 x 4gb patriot ddr3

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, merry christmas!

Did you plugged the monitor on the motherboard or the GPU?

I have tried both

Are the fans on the GPU spinning? B)

no

[soaringchicken]

Have you got the power cords in?

[Bosspro1]

no

Ok then make sure your GPU is getting power and the proper amount of it and if your power supply is modular then make sure all the connections are good both to the card and power supply unit. B)

remove the GPU 

 

and plug the monitor display cable to the mobo

 

if that fails

 

your got a power short somewhere in your casing which is touching the mobo

 

 

PS: is that a 4690K with a H97 board?

i thought that the 24 pin connector wasnt in all the way but it must by because the fans are spinning and they are plugged into the motherboard, also my optical drive opens and closes

also, When I just took the GPU out it was hot, if that is relevent

Makes sense that the GPU doesn't spin up because most 970s have that 0 dbA technology. Not sure about EVGA, but it's a possibility.

mistake number one there

 

the 4690K should be paired with a Z97 board if you want to OC the unlocked CPU

 

 

 

it means the GPU was receiving power

 

this may mean the mobo may be a fault

 

did you make sure it works outside the casing?

I took out the gpu and it posts to a screen that says "Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" SO I guess now I need to know what do I do from here and how do I make my gpu work?

reseat the GPU and make sure the power connectors are plugged in
