Nothing display on screen

[AStateOfTrance]

Hey Fam,

Just got a new case and installed everything but I am getting no video on screen. I have my Hdmi hooked up to my 980 and nothing, I exchange it out for vga and still nothing. I am getting frustrated and don't know what to do.

Plug in your PCI-E power connectors to the video card?

It's hard to help you with this problem because there isn't that much information to go on.  Turn your computer off, make sure everything is getting power.  Is your monitor at least displaying a graphic or something so that you know it's your computer and not the monitor?

So is the PC powering on but no video on the display?

Pc powers on but nothing is coming onto the monitor.

All cables are connected properly, Momitor comes on to say nothing coming from source

I've tried every possible way of doing this, taking graphics cards out and plugging Hdmi into motherboard and nothing, system is up and running but can't see anything

Remove your RAM stick, expect for 1, and now try. If that doesn't work, switch the RAM module. Refer to the manual of your motherboard to know which RAM slot to use for 1 stick configuration.

The idea is to isolate the problem. So that also means, unplug all USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

Is there any changes?

If not, then maybe there is a short going on. Screw off the motherboard, put it out of case, and make sure it is super clean (new cases can have metal shard which fell on it, and is shorting something). If you have can of compressed air, use that even if your board appears clean.

Put the motherboard on top of a box, and without the GPU (use the Intel integrated graphics), power on the system. Does it work now?

I feel like a idiot....the ram sticks weren't inserted all the way in.
