No Display

I've setup my new computer rig but when I plug in DVI port to the motherboard I don't get any display, I've tried and connect it to the graphics card and still the same

Specs?

Is there any activity from the PC? any fans spinning, any lights ON?

Does the GFX card need extra power from the PSU?

When you plugged the display into the motherboard, remove the GFX card.

i5 3570K
Gigabyte Z77 D3H motherboard
MSI HD 7850
550W OCZ PSU
Zalman Z9 Plus case

Everything comes on, fan controller, fans and the front lights

Remove the GFX card and connect the display to the board, does it work then? if so, update the BIOS. (do this first if you can get a display without the GFX card)

Are you using a DVI-VGA adapter to connect to the monitor?

DVI from motherboard to DVI monitor

So have you tried with the GFX card removed or not yet?

I'll give it a try tomorrow, I want to overclock my CPU, but I don't know how to,

A lot of people have been having problems with Z77 D3H.

Remove GFX, and see if you can boot with onboard (if so, update BIOS).

I've removed graphics card and plug in DVI from motherboard to DVI monitor and still no display

Do you have another monitor or TV you can try it with.

I've a VGA monitor which I could connect and try

Idleman said:
Also, are you 100% certain that all your connectors are all properly connected?

I've connected all the connectors, motherboard 24 pin and CPU 6 pin

I've tried connecting it via VGA, but still no display, I've tried removing RAM, still the same problem, but the CPU fan is running and it's connected to motherboard

Try a Clear CMOS.

How do I clear CMOS?

stulid said:
Remove all drives (don't need them to get the BIOS up)

I've HDD and DVD ROM connected, I remove the SATA cable and power cables from them?

stulid said:
If you are trying to connect a VGA monitor to a DVI-D connector using a converter (on the board and maybe one on the GFX card) then you wont get a display.

I've a DVI monitor and a old VGA monitor, connected both to the motherboard without any adapter

Try one stick of RAM in different slots.

I'll give that a go
