Hi I just water cooled my pc today but when I turned it on my monitor would not work

Basically when I turn it on it show the bios but not in the right resolution then when windows boots up there is noting just a black screen but if I connect my tv with the hdmi lend it works fine

Anybody any ideas what is wrong with it?

I have updated the driver to a new beta driver with no joy although I haven't tried to do a clean install.

Yes the gpu is watercooled I used the evga waterblock and back plate for my 780 classified

Just wondering if there is a possible short on the backplate? You could try it without the back plate or remove and reattach it. Did you leave the inside plastic cover on?

No I removed the plastic cover should I have left it on?

On the instructions it say remove the plastic cover you would think that they would say do not remove the back plastic cover . Not very clear instructions.

Does display port image quality match dvi? I'm gaming at 1920x1200. Really couldn't be annoyed draining my loop to take of the backplate
