What did I do wrong?

[TechDookie]

For starters, this is my first build so excuse my ignorance to a few things.

 

I built the PC, ran a test boot, and everything went fine. The monitor displayed the BIOS and after tweaking it a little I was ready to install the OS. But, since I didn't have the OS or the keyboard (was borrowing keyboard from another computer) at the time I waited. I gave the keyboard back to its original owner and  I moved the computer to where I'd be using it thinking that I'd set the OS up there. When I turned it on again nothing showed up on the monitor. Is this because the keyboard is not plugged in? Silly question, I know, but I'm just worried I knocked something out of place carrying it.

Check your power supply cables, make sure they are plugged both into the supply, and your parts. If they are, check your display connection on both ends. If nothing happens after both are secure, I would reset your CMOS (this clears any overclocks, voltage changes, etc.) and then try and reboot. Clearing CMOS is to be done 2 ways - by a switch on the board, or by popping out the small watchlike battery, and then putting it back in a few minutes later.

Do you hear any fans running? Open up the case and turn it on. Specs? See if the GPU fans are turning, See if the 8pin CPU connector is in or if it got loose and check if the PSU cables are loose if it's semi or fully modular

Just to clear things up the system started up just no display was shown.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. The PC booted but it gave no display to the monitor.

What are your specs?

Take out the ram and put it back. May or may not work but it happened to me, PC booted but display didn't show up, I re fitted the ram and it worked.

I5 4690K, R9 280, ASROCK Extreme 4.

Already tried.

Hmm.. Try booting up with the IGPU ( remove the GPU ) and boot up

Ram always seems to be the culprit when it's some inexplicable issue, or is that just me?

Always question the ram or PSU. lol
