No signal problem. HELP ME!

[mossid]

So this is my first build. I have this build, and tried to put it all together. On the first try before assembling everything together, I tried to power it up. It worked and I got the "Asus" page. But when everything was on place, and all the cables were sorted, then the monitor says no signal. The GPU fans are running, the CPU fan is running. Please help me. Have I broken something ??

First off do you get a Q code? since your MB does not have that small displey for the Q code it probably has a speakers that came with it, that goes on the IO, HDD, and power LED pins.

[flibberdipper]

Try booting off the iGPU for the first time and then go through the BIOS and set it up to boot it off a dedicated card. That might be something you have to do.

I dont understand what your are saying. There was no Q code in the MOBO box.

[Apocalipse]

You got a speaker with your MB, which will beep a q code that gives a description of an error.

Here is how it looks:

And tmcclelland455 said about trying to connect your monitor to the MB dvi DP or HDMI port, would be a good way to start.

How do i do that?

[BrinkGG]

How do i do that?

Use the video outputs on the motherboard instead of the graphics card, and remove the GPU from your system. 

[flibberdipper]

How do i do that?

Unplug the detodated (hue) card and hook your monitor up to the mobo. I'm not familiar with ASUS boards, but my Gigabyte board had an option to choose the main boot card.

ohh. I have tried the connectors on the motherborad while the GPU was connected. I will try without the GPU.

There was no speaker with the mobo. could it be installed on the motherboard?

Sorry for the delay i got dced, you can order a speaker if you want:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XMotherboard+speaker.TRS0&_nkw=Motherboard+speaker&_sacat=0

They are fairly inexpensive, but if you want to tinker while waiting the first step would be to discnonnect everything, take the MB out of the case

Place it on a non-conductive surface (such as a MB box) and plug the 12pin atx connector, CPU, the CPU connector, 1 stick or RAM, and the display out from the MB, without the gpu.

If it still does not post, id venture a guess that its DOA, but before that you should get a speaker.

I will try both those. But it booted once, and at that time it was inside of the case, and I did not change any of the cables after that. 

[ExcaliburVII]

I've been having a very similar problem recently.

I tried booting my old PC up again, and it went into the UEFI fine. I changed the boot settings to a Windows install USB, but upon rebooting the computer stopped outputting to the monitor.

What's really weird is that I left it for a day, came back to it the next, and it worked. I rejoiced, but upon entering the UEFI and rebooting again, there was once again no video signal.

I've tried:

- a different monitor (namely my TV)

- a different port (DVI and HDMI)

- removing the dGPU and plugging the cable into the iGPU

- clearing CMOS

I really have no idea what's going on.

System specs:

- i5 2400

- *edit: forgot mobo: ASRock Z77E-ITX

- Radeon HD 7750

- 8GB memory

- Corsair CX600 PSU

Wow, I tried booting without the GPU, and I got in to the BIOS. What should i do now? 

[Apocalipse]

Wow, I tried booting without the GPU, and I got in to the BIOS. What should i do now? 

Oh, i think i might know exactly what the problem is.

I remember when i did a fresh install of windows and saw no signla what ever i did.

Just power on the computer let it sit for 2-3 minutes so it can boot into windows, and then hold down the windows key and press the P letter on your keyboard twice.

Repeat this three times until you see your screen turn on again.

The problem might be that you gpu or igpu is outputting the video to a different display .

The best thing to do while in the bios is try to update it or just load setup defaults.

I tried that, did not work. It might be that the pc did not even boot into windows, cause when I pressed the power button it powered off immediately.

How do i update or load setup defaults? 

[Apocalipse]

How do i update or load setup defaults? 

Here is the link for you MB, you can find the right bios to flash under the bios category(make sure you download it for the right OS)

Loading setup defaults is located on the last tab from left to right where you should see other options such as Save and reset etc.

 

EDIT: Also i can see that there is a quite recent bios update so you should do that,

here is a quick tutorial how to do this:

So I managed to update the BIOs to the latest Version, which is 2803. I then connect the GPU, but nothing happened. Same problem. Should I maybe run a windows update and try to update and install all the drivers? Maybe this can fix the problem.

You should definitely install all windows updates as well as the GPU driver.

Here is the link:http://www.geforce.com/drivers

But that is still a strange issue.

Are you sure that the GPU is working, seems to me like it might be DOA

Installed all drivers, windows update and gpu drivers. Still no signal while connecting via GPU. i even went into BIOs and changed the settings so it gets the signal to the moniter from PCIe, but it did not work.I dont know if its DOA or not. While the GPU is connected all the fans are running and the light is on. So I dont know how to check.

My GPU died recently and the fans and the leds worked just as well.

I don't have any other ideas, beside if you can try the GPU in another computer?

I don't have another computer and I have recently moved to a new area so I dont know anyone here. I will try to call the place I bought it from on monday. Thank you for helping

Really sorry i have no idea what could be wrong.
