Monitor "No Signal" after upgrading RAM
Sigh.. New ram arrived today (Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz DDR3 8GB stick - Same as what i already had)
Powered down the computer, earthed myself and placed the RAM into the matching colour slot. Booted up the computer (looking good so far) then i get the message on the screen of "HDMI NO SIGNAL".. I allow the computer to run for a little while longer and i hear the windows login sound (where you enter your password).
So my first thoughts are that maybe by chance monitor or HDMI cables had broken - switched them both but no difference.
From there i start to wonder if theres an issue with the new stick of RAM so i remove the new stick and boot up again - Computer runs fine just as it did before - Just like normal.
I wonder if maybe there is an issue with that slot on my mother board, so i move both sticks over one so they're now on black black, from blue blue. Still no difference
Now im left in a rather puzzled state due to the fact that even though i didnt get signal to the monitor i know the computer in running since i got the windows login music. Maybe im being silly and have to activate something in my BIOS.. or maybe its because im running windows 7 home premium.. Help would be much appreciated.
Computer Specs:
Mobo: P8Z77-V
CPU: 3770K @4.5ghz
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 (2 fans)
GPU: GTX 770
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600 DDR3 8GB (one stick)
PSU: Corsair AX860 Platinum rating
HDD: WD Black 1TB
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
go into the advanced part of the bios and make sure the gpu is set to pic-e and also double check the memory profile is XMP to ensure the settings are right. I had a similar issue with my board and tried those two things and it seemed to work for me as I found it was outputting from the onboard graphics.
