First Build - Struggling
Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:26 am
Working on my first build. I started last night. Here is my parts list
MOBO: ASRock Fatlity z87 Killer
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 780 OC
CPU: i5 4670
RAM: Patriot Viper 16G (2x8)
PSU: XFX 850w 80 Gold certified fully modular
SSD: Samsung EVO 840 (250G)
HDD: Seagate 2TB
So when I put it together the first time nothing happened. It would not power up. So I did some research online and most things said to strip it back down to basics and start over. So I went back to just the mobo and cpu and it turned on and sent a signal to my monitor.
Next I installed my GPU and it booted up once again. Yay! BUT now I do not get a signal to my monitor from either the mobo or the gpu.. and I am now stuck. Help.. I don't want to move forward until I get each component in correctly...It seems like the mobo and the gpu are competing and cancelling each other out.. But this is my first build and I am somewhat of a PC noob. Any help would be greatly appreciated from those who have suffered through this before and are now experts!
