I don't think I have intergrated graphics on my motherboard

The motherboard itself has 1 HDMI port. Unplug your GPU, plug the monitor into the motherboard HDMI input, try that.

Shiv wrote What kind of input is on the graphics card?
Does the card require power from the PSU or the motherboard?


If it requires power straight form the PSU, is the 4pin or 6pin power cable plugged into the graphics card?

It requires power from the PSU and the 6 pin connector is plugged in and everything, here's some pictures of the inside

Okay, is the GPU plugged and clipped into its PCI slot properly? Is it even compatible with the motherboard? If you can, post your PC specs and I'll see if I can spot any anomalies

Asus Strix Radeon RX 470 OC Edition
Intel Core i5 6400 quad core processor
Gigabyte GA-H110M-A micro-ATX motherboard
GSkill 4GB DDR4 RAM
EVGA 430 W1
WD Caviar Blue 320GB

Mixing Radeon GPU with Intel CPU is never a good idea bud.

Your graphics card and motherboard are compatible

I assume you're using HDMI or Displayport, which one?

I tried HDMI and VGA and nothing

No need to thank me

How can he disable and enable it if he cannot use the PC with the monitor in the first place?

I'll have to do that when I get home, I'm on my way to work right now

If this works then its a GPU or motherboard connection issue. All the best

I'd try pulling your CMOS battery to reset the BIOS. For whatever reason, It could be defaulting to the on-board graphics. Do you see a motherboard splash screen when you boot up or nothing at all? In your case it would display the Gigabyte logo on the screen.

Sorry, I never meant to say motherboard, I was meant to say CPU, but plug the HDMI/VGA/DVI in the motherboard.

Your i5 will have intergrated graphics.

It's just a screen that says no signal, I've tried different hdmi channels and still nothing, o tried multiple hdmi cords and multiple vga cords as well

Quick update I tried to remove the CMOS battery and replace it, still nothing, i disconnected the GPU and and tried going directly to the motherboard with the HDMI cord and all the PC did was turn on and about 5 seconds after it was on it started beeping, I have no idea what could be wrong

You could need a new HDMI cable
