New PC build

[KenH83]

Hey all, thanks in advance for your help, here is the situation.

I've always built my own computers over the last 20 years and today I'm stumped.

Core components:
CPU: Intel 8700k, cooled by Corsair H150i PRO
MB: ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (WiFi)
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V
Video Card: ASUS ROG Swift 1080 Ti
Monitor: ASUS ROG PG279Q

So, I get the all of the components inside the case and before the first boot, I have the monitor plugged into the motherboards display port, knowing that I'd have to likely disable the on board video in order for the GPU output to work. 

So, the first boot, the PC POSTS but I have no video display. So I switch from using display port to hdmi and the same thing happens. Before going further, I remove the video card from within the case completely. Try to the ASUS monitor again, trying both HDMI and DP, and still no signal. 

I grab an old one LG monitor, its about 10 years old, no clue the model number, and hook it up via HDMI. 

With the old monitor I'm able to get into BIOS, and further research tells me that if I'm plugged into the video card, I don't need to disable the on board video. 

So, I get into the BIOS, everything seems normal, again using this old monitor, so I shut down the PC. I hook up the new ASUS panel, and again, trying both DP and HDMI, the monitor says, "no signal" for both DP and HDMI. 

Any ideas are welcomed before I attempt to call ASUS. 

Thanks again!

Not sure what's wrong. I know I had an issue with my monitor not showing up because of some dumb sequencing thing along with the card not being fully in.

With me it was the other way around my onboard graphics were already disabled so I could only get in my bios through my videocard have you tried that yet?

Sounds like a bunk monitor, but is the monitor getting power at all?

The monitor powers up fine and I'm able to nagivate through its menu. I haven't tried it on another machine yet, which I was going to do after work.

Yea, definitely do that. It's probably fine if it's getting power and you can navigate the menus.. Wait, have you tried a completely different cable or did you just try an adapter when trying both HDMI and Display port? If not, try an entirely different cable.

Only the two cables, one dp and one hdmi that came with it. I have other ones available though. I was trying to troubleshoot this between 2am and 3am last night, while having to get up at 6am for work... So I made the post here today just for a fresh perspective and ideas. I appreciate your help and taking the time to reply!

No problem, I guess you just have to try a different monitor at this point to rule that out quickly.
