i've finally got power to the mobo by doing putting the power switchs in the correct holes (As i had misplaced one of them) and now i've encounted another problem which is my monitor is getting no vga signal. but all fans are ago when i press the on switch i can even hear the hdd booting up. but nothing on my screen. (also tryed hdmi plug in, also nothing)
 
Have you made sure that all the power connectors are in the back of the gfx card if
you are using a card that is not part of the motherboard?
If so try it in a different slot on the motherboard and make sure the monitor you are using
is on the right input mode for the cable that you are using DVI-D, HDMI etc etc...

moved graphics card to 2nd slot. the same again. yes the card is not a part of the mobo. all power cords are in the back of g card. monitor is on right setting for vga. (no dvi-d cable to test with)
 
Try connecting monitor to the vga port built into motherboard. Try it with or without graphics card and see if you get a signal. BIOS might be configured to look for on board graphics for it's first setup rather than the graphics card.
 
if it's a dual dvi card and you have a vga monitor and you're using an adapter, it could be that you've plugged into into DVI-D port which is digital only. try the other port. of course i'm just guessing but without more info on your hardware, it's hard to tell. :p

i unplugged the graphics card and it worked! my screen is asking for a boot device. finally. i'll probably be back to ask how to get my graphics card to work.

You'll need to have a look around the bios for an option to do with the graphics card.
It will have default to integrated graphics, i can't say exactly what setting to look for but you'll need to find out where to change it to either Pci/PEG or there might just be an option to turn off i-gpu.

A VGA to DVI adapter will only fit on a DVI-I socket so shouldn't cause this problem.

^ This, must have left onboard graphics on when trying to boot. Should be an easy find.
 
Try flashing the motherboards bios to the latest version. There seem to be quite a few conflicts with that particular board and some graphics cards.
 
Hmmn dunno maybe it's changed then. I've got a couple of old adapters knocking about and a new one from EVGA the pin-outs are different on the old ones but none off them will fit on the DVI-D. I did actually try :o
 
As weegill said,look in th bios,under periferals,under initial display first,put in pci in the options,you can leave int. graphics on auto,i have this board and had to do this,its worth a check as it only takes 2 minutes,has your monitor got no dvi or hdmi port?
 
Hey, i finally got the gpu working thanks to Kevbiss1, so thanks for that!

Now my final last problem which is my 2tb HDD isn't showing up in my computers and device management. However it works in the bios under boot drives.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Also to note my main hdd is an SSD with w7 installed on it.
