Alright, so I just bought the MSI 970 Gaming AM3+ motherboard. I installed my CPU, RAM, HDD, and all of the other components including my GPU. Everything is wire correctly, the computer boots up, but there isn't any display on the monitor. The board doesn't have onboard graphics so it needs a dedicated card (Which I have) so there isn't any other display ports other than my GPU. The GPU's fan revs up then goes down repeatedly. The board is new and I'm using a Corsair CX750m PSU. The motherboard is new and shouldn't be having any problems. If anyone has a solution, please reply. Thanks.

Make sure the RAM is seated properly, this is the main cause of this on new builds.

The ram is in the correct spot. I referred to the users guide to make sure. I also moved it around and tried it a few times just in case.

It may be in the correct spot but is it in completely.

Do you get any screens at all? Like a BIOS screen.

It may be in its correct spot but is in in properly. You have to put quite a lot of force to get the ram in and for the clips to shut. Just make sure that the notch on the ram matches the notch on the mobo before installing.

Do you know if the PC posts? Does it load into windows? You can normally tell by the sound of the HDD if its booting into windows.

The clips are fully closed, and I haven't been able to boot into bios to select which Hdd to load first for windows to even start.

You dint make that clear since you said

Well, at times like this, I always say use common sense. This is what I would do

Make sure everything is connected. Some PC's dont start if a cpu fan is not plugged in
Make sure all the hardware is in properly. Including re seating the CPU
Take it all out and re start.
Still no luck, switch out some hardware and see if that works

But, you may not want to go through this process.
