I NEED HELP!

[epicgamer951]

I bought myself a custom made cpu with this specs:

-intel core i5-3570 processor

-Gigabyte B75m-D3V motherboard

-transcend 1333 mhz 2x4gb ram

-Zotac GTX 760 AMP (2gb DDR5)

-Toshiba 2TB HDD

-Corsair CX600m power supply

-Tecware F3 blue usb3.0 chasis

 

And i can't seem to get a connection to my monitor. I am not sure if it is my monitor or the cpu itself. Please help!!

I don't see anything here that would be troubling, try plugging the display into the motherboard's iGPU and see if the boot up screen appears on the display when it's first powered on.

Are you plugging your monitor into your GPU or motherboard? Also, make sure you have the correct monitor source selected.

Rather than showing no signal it is now showing power save mode and nothing

check to make sure you have your cables hooked up to the correct source (likely your GPU). Then trying connecting it to the other source (in this case your motherboard) make sure you have iGPU display turned on in the BIOS, or disconnect your GPU during this time to ensure your computer knows to use the motherboard graphics signal.

Can you show us a picture of the back of your PC?

Ok, which of those ports are you plugging the display into?

then start with basic trouble shooting. take out the gpu, and pull aout all the ram, then put only one stick back in and see if it does anything.

VGA which is the blue one....

you need to plug it into the dvi ports on the graphics card. The IGPU is probably disabled.

It might be difficult as my monitor only supports VGA

with a GPU installed, your computer will automatically default to wanting to use the ports on the GPU (the horizontal ones near the middle of your computer). you will need to remove that GPU, or tell your BIOS to use the motherboard outputs instead.

Then you need to get a converter. they're cheap. You can't even use the GPU you paid for until you do.

So using a converter does not use my gpu at all.....

It does. The yellow DVI port on your GPU natively supports VGA with a converter. They cost like 3 dollars.

So which dvi input should i use??? There is 3 of them

no... using your motherboard VGA port will mean your GPU is useless (unless you use it for some compute task). Using a converter to make it so that you CAN plug it into your GPU suddenly makes your GPU very useful and able to do what it is supposed to do.

[SteinerW]

Once you get an adapter, sorry is not a converter, its an adapter, you can use the yellow dvi port.
