bought my system the other day it arrived today and i've just put it together and it starts up fine but nothing comes up on any monitor i use, i've used 2 each with DVI VGA and HDMI, non work it just comes up saying no signal received, also i turn it on using the power supply then the button but to turn it off i need to turn it off via the power supply not the button..

Thanks in Advance

Well you've probably got the power switch not seated properly or the wrong way around. Reseat the power connectors on the Graphics Card, does the fan spin up on the GFX Card?

HeavenlyStar · 10 Sep 2011 at 14:22

yes the GPU fans are spinning, i fixied the power button but still nothing comes up on the screen, i've tried plugging the cables into teh GPU and the motherboard and what do you mean by graphics card spin up?

Have you plugged the 20/24 pin and 4/8 pin power connectors into the motherboard?

Tribune · 10 Sep 2011 at 14:39

Have you connected both power cables to the motherboard?

HeavenlyStar · 10 Sep 2011 at 14:46

yea i plugged both cables into the motherboard

Specs of system?

And Pictures would be useful

Might just be that you didn't seat the GPU properly

HeavenlyStar · 10 Sep 2011 at 15:26
