Welcome to the forum!

Check all of your connections from the power supply. Make sure the graphics card has been pushed down all the way into the PCIe slot until the lock moves back into place with an audible 'click', locking the GPU in. If the GPU has a backplate, make sure the RAM doesn't get in the way.

Also, see if the cable from your graphics card is plugged into the right input on your monitor, and set your monitor to that input from the build-in monitor menu.

It should work. If not, there'll be a beep from your motherboard or a flashing LED. This is a 'Post code'. Look up your motherboard manual to find out what it means.

Please check all your cable connections again! Also make sure your graphics card is installed correctly (check out this video maybe it helps)

Is your Monitor working with other devices?

If your monitor and GPU have HDMI 1.4 or higher and you're playing at 1080p 60Hz, then HDMI. Otherwise, go with DVI.

However, if you can, use Displayport.

ok thaks

If it still does not work: Many modern Mainboards offer a Display output of their own (mostly HDMI I guess). In order to take the graphics card out of the calculation you can try to power up the system with your monitor plugged in directly to the motherboard... If your System posts that way, there might be something wrong with your graphics card. You should check that all power connectors are plugged in correctly and your graphics card sits correctly in its PCI-E slot and give it another try maybe, but if problems remain you have to send in your card
