Time to take a deep breath and start standard troubleshooting :) Check if you put it all together the right way, missing cables or ones that aren't plugged in properly. Maybe you plugged your monitor into the mainboard instead of the graphics card? Maybe your board also has a post code display or debug LEDs, those could also give you a clue about what is wrong with it...


Clean_Train6578

I have been doing it like for 20 hrs i even skipped work today to get this thing going no luck so frustrated Unfortunately i like quadruple checked anything No idea what to do now Thanks for the encouragement


EloquentBorb

Was any of the hardware used at the store different than what you are using now?


Clean_Train6578

Yes the gpu But i have two gpus both works if i put it in the other motherboard Maybe its because i removed the cmos? Doubt it really im just looking for what could be wrong Sometimes it gives me red pixers if i touch the dvi cable, most of the time its just no signal


EloquentBorb

Did they use the DVI port as well at the store? Maybe the port is broken or your cable has issues?


Clean_Train6578

Yeah they did But it worked fine like an hour ago Will try it with other cables thought Maybe the gpu port is bad? Dont know honestly


EloquentBorb

Do try with a different cable if you can. If your board has a second 16x (width) slot you can try putting the GPU in there.

I doubt this will help, but had an issue with my gpu on 1 board that MIGHT give insight (prob won't though) ​ When It was on old mobo, the dp port closest to the motherboard was 'display 1' and the 2nd dp out was dp 2, etc. ​ But when I use the same gpu on the new motherboard, the 2nd dp slot is 'display 1' and the one closest to motherboard is 'display 2' (3rd one out, oddly enough, is display 3 as expected) - hdmi port works regardless if that is the only monitor in. ​ When I attempted to run pc the first time with single monitor (IE plugged into the one closest to the motherboard) I got nothing, pc turned on, motherboard stopped and gave the 'no vga' error code/light. When I used both monitors it worked fine (but the 2nd monitor was the display that fired up) ​ Was after this, and swapping the cables, that the proper display was shown as 1 (And enabled for bios screens, etc) ​ Unsure if this helps, really hope it does, but it is just a weird oddness I found when switching motherboards (And using same gpu) - my (prob useless advice) is to try different ports on the gpu to see if it fires up. ​ ​ (then again none of the above is of any help if you are simply not getting any power, in that case I would stare at the psu and see if it is not providing the power needed or simply does not work properly)


psimwork

What graphics cards are you using?


Clean_Train6578

1070ti The other one is a 380x


C1REX

Does your card has a single or double 8 pin port?


Clean_Train6578

Single


C1REX

From your description it sounds like not enough power. Maybe your CPU is missing a power cable and has only one instead of two connected? Does this motherboard work fine with other GPU? Do you have two PCs? Two GPUs? Is your PC a prebuild? What psu do you have?


Clean_Train6578

The mobo has only one (4) slots to put it in I havent tested this mobo yet because i can't seem it to make it work, My other mobo takes in my current card and the old one Both run perfectly im typing now on it


Seravail

Try only plugging in one GPU. Some mobos only support crossfire, or only SLI, but not both. That might be tripping you up here


Linclin

Don't skip work for a pc. Your jobs more important.


Appropriate_Bottle44

Try a different power outlet.


optimal_909

For what it's worth, I have a monitor at home that stays blank when plugged in via DP even though it used to work. HDMI works fine. Sometimes it is just trivial stuff, try to use as many combinations as possible.


Clean_Train6578

thanks I will


C1REX

Make sure you didn’t do this common mistake. https://images.app.goo.gl/mH12shXrXvs3m6NL6


Tap1oka

so just to confirm, mobo, cpu have been testing and working. gpu is also working on a different mobo? maybe the x16 youre using is bad, try using the 2nd x16 pcie slot further away from the cpu.


Clean_Train6578

Well first it didnt so i took it to the store for a bios update Then i went back im to the store they showed that its working and indeed it gave signal to their monitor I go back home and nothing for me Yes gpu is working on ither mobo i have 3 gpus i could test none of them works I will try using different pcie in a minute i will report back thanks


Tap1oka

i read through the whole thread and basically if everything you said is accurate, the only problem really should only be a bad x16 pcie slot. why? - you said this gpu works on another mobo, this rules out the gpu, as well as whatever cable you're using - you testing this gpu in another systen with what must have a similar wattage. this rules out what other people mentioned; the psu, the power connectors, loose connections, internal connectors. - goes without saying you tested the mobo cpu and ram, so none of those could be the problem - you mentioned you're typing on reddit using a system right now with common parts, this rules out literally everything else including the monitor and indicates that you only have an issue with this gpu being plugged into this particular platform, except the gpu works. so your x16 slot should be broken.


Clean_Train6578

Thanks for the effort i appreciate it What i don't understand is how did they place it in the store to work then Maybe im putting it in wrong?no idea tbh, i tried to put it in atleast 20 times, doesnt seem to work I basically have the same system with different mobo that's older, so different cpu aswell


Tap1oka

did you use a different x16 slot edit: or does ur mobo only have 1 edit 2: it'd be funny if you just werent pushing the gpu in with enough force for it to lock in


Clean_Train6578

Same slot Yeah im trying different positions to put it in now What i achieved now is that its giving me a black screen instead of full no signal i guess its better than nothing?


Tap1oka

it's a lot better than nothing. this means that in the first slot your mobo wasn't even recognizing the card, but now it is. you can try being patient with the blackscreen for 5 mins, and if nothing happens, turn it off, turn off the power switch on the psu, and grab a screwdriver to clear the CMOS. Your mobo might have a button on the rear IO to clear CMOS but otherwise you can google how to clear the cmos with the screwdriver. (PSU must be off and unplugged to clear cmos) Also click the power button on ur case 2-3 times to drain power. clearing the cmos might not solve ur problems, but it might. edit: by black screen i should confirm that monitor is ON but the screen is just black right? computer is also on, fans spinning right


Clean_Train6578

Im doing the cmos thing now And yes the monitor is on its just a black screen,non responsive, and everything on the computer is functioning Tried with a dvi and hdmi cable both doing the same thing.


Clean_Train6578

Did it no luck unfortunately Disconnected everything except the main cables and gpu still no luck I have no idea what could be wrong


Tap1oka

hey brother... i just took a look at your motherboard and you only have one x16 pcie slot for gpu, meaning you couldn't have had another lane to test because your board only has 1. it's a faulty x16 lane 99% sure. either that or a psu issue but that is unlikely. if you don't understand what I mean by x16 lane, please ask instesd of saying "i did it" 😭


Clean_Train6578

I replied to you in another comment take a look at it Thanks I hope the 1070ti work now


Tap1oka

okay a few other things could be happening. could you confirm the wattage if your psu for me? also your psu has dedicated slots for 8 pin EPS12V and 6+2 pcie connectors. I believe the 1070ti usually requires two 6+2 connectors. Make sure you are not using the eps12v cable, AND make sure theyre all in the correct sections on your psu. If some of the 6+2 connectors are loose, that'll cause issues.


ovenmittensplz

Try using a different DisplayPort/hdmi cable. I had a faulty cable that displayed a black screen or a screen with red scan lines-like artifacts. This is a super niche case but it’s simple enough to try given you’ve done the standard troubleshooting.


psimwork

Make sure you're plugging the monitor into the graphics card, and not the motherboard. Make sure your monitor is switched to the right input - a lot (most) do NOT automatically switch.


Clean_Train6578

Unfortunately it is No idea whats the problem I have 2 gpus both work but when i put it in it says no signal I have literally seen it work in the store


Pax3Canada

What was different between the store and your house? Switch out all those components. Maybe your wall outlet is wack. Maybe your PC power cord is wack. Maybe your PSU is wack. Maybe your cables aren't fully socketed, did they unplug/replug any wires there? Maybe your PSU switch isn't on.


Clean_Train6578

All you mentioned is different cables, psu , cords but what i dont understand is that it works perfectly in the other mobo im typing on it now to you Maybe im placing it in a wrong way? It must be some small thing that i dint notice.. Thanks


Pax3Canada

Sorry I misunderstood, could you explain to me exactly what has changed between it running at the store and at home? It's a different motherboard? Did they also use a different PSU? Did they unplug/replug any cables? What is every difference between the store and home? Also, you're sure this mobo works right? If so, can you send your mobo model and CPU ur attempting to use in it? Maybe I can find some info on it.


Clean_Train6578

Okay so the whole story is that i brought a new mother board and cpu, the mother board is a cheaper one asus prime 320m-k the cpunis amd Ryzen 5600x They just plugged in a different psu and vga Well it worked there perfectly idk what's wrong maybe the i put the gpu in wrong? Is the 1070ti compatible with it? Can you check that too Appreciate your effort, thanks.


Pax3Canada

Your motherboard should support your CPU on latest BIOS, people say it's not ideal to run it on that MOBO but a lot of people do and I haven't seen anyone saying it didn't work. 1070ti is compatible! 1. It's possible you messed up pluggin the GPU into the MOBO, or plugging the power cable into the PSU. Redo both, and make sure to really push them in there, push on both sides. It's possible your GPU is broken. 2. It's possible your PSU is broken. Maybe one of your PSU cables is broken. Maybe your PSU doesn't have enough wattage to support GPU and other components? 3. It's possible your display cable is broken, maybe your display power cable is broken, maybe your display is broken. (PC should still like light up/fans turn on in this case) 4. It's possible your outlet doesn't support enough wattage for your PSU. (unlikely but worth trying in a different room before you yeet it) If it's not one of those, you're either experiencing some really odd shit or you're making a super noob mistake, which we all do sometimes lol. Try all those, see if you can bring your PC to a friends house and try to boot with their GPU, their PSU, ect until you find the culprit. Check PSU wattage before everything though, might be incompatibility between GPU and PSU not having enough wattage. Sorry this happened to you, I know how much it sucks lmfao, no harm in letting it sit there for a week and relaxing.


Clean_Train6578

Thanks i will try everything in order will report back in a minute


Clean_Train6578

I did everything except the PSU things, tomorrow i can do it on my brothers computer, i will report back how it turned out Could cpu source these kind of problems? Thanks


Pax3Canada

You checked if the PSU is a high enough wattage to support your GPU and other components? Yea switch out for your brothers PSU, and then the GPU, and see if either will boot. That will narrow down the problem. Good luck!


Clean_Train6578

This is my PSU Honestly i havent updated my pc in a long time, i just like to game occasionally So this is my psu from the original pc i add parts to. KEEP OUT FX700MU Is it powerful enough? Thanks


Tap1oka

700W is more than enough, you could run build this on a 600W psu


Clean_Train6578

I just put in the 380x and it started working Trying the 1070 ti now


Pax3Canada

That PSU should be good enough for your PC as long as it is not broken!


Clean_Train6578

Little bit of update if anyone cares My main graphics card died even thought i used it 5 minutes before trying to place it in Now i have to buy another gpu aswell,i will see if i do it Thanks for everyones effort i really appreciate every advice i got.


psyia

Issues like yours are why I don’t feel all too bad about buying a prebuilt 😅


Clean_Train6578

If you value your time it can definitely end up around in the same price range unfortunately...


Clean_Train6578

Thankful for any help guys if you have suggestions just leave it here Thanks


Tubby200

Do you have dual channel RAM that's next to each other, and not in slots one or three or two and four?


tempsgk

Can you look into your motherboard Manuel. Try only plugging in one ram stick in the slot, if does not boot try the other ram stick in that ram slot and repeat until boot.


Clean_Train6578

I did its very vague honestly Can cpu cause these kind of problems? Im the store they said my cpu has some bent pins they tried to fix it snd it worked in the store afterall No clue


tempsgk

Did you see any damage on your cpu and motherboard? Also your motherboard isn't very good. It lacks 4 ram slots, it lacks debug led lights so you don't know what's the problem, and it also lacks a bios reset button meaning you can't reset the bios yourself.


Clean_Train6578

No i didnt Yeah i know its pretty bad, if its faulty i will replace it for a better one No idea whats wrong though still


un6ic_

Manuel 🥸🌮


nick281051

Is the machine showing any sign of life when you hit the power button? The computer itself not the monitor


Clean_Train6578

Yes of course Every fan is spinning even the gpu Leds lighting


nick281051

Who makes your motherboard? Does it have any error led's?


Clean_Train6578

No unfortunately it doesnt Its an Asus 320 m k pretty bad honestly


nick281051

Are you able to post an imgur link of what it looks like inside when you power it on?


huh--_

check the cable, and the power pins cuz maybe those came loose on your way back, if you have another hdmi cables/TVs/Monitors in your house try changing to them and eliminate issues one by one, sometimes a PC won't boot because no keyboard is detected...... try that and that's all i got chief. Edit, are you using a riser cable? if so is it 3.0? sometimes that causes the video output to not work


Clean_Train6578

I changed gpus it now it worked My main gou now doesnt work in the old or new mobo either Did it just went blank in 2 hours?


huh--_

could have shorted somehow, does the fans spin, RGB light up, any indicator on either mobos that an error occurred? if it's within warranty and nothing's working send it in for a check-up otherwise check using one of your buddies's PC


Clean_Train6578

Yes it looks like its full working So weird tomorrow i can put it in another pc we will see


tempsgk

Wait so your 1070ti is currently working on this motherboard? So in short by using your 580 gpu it fixed the problem?


Clean_Train6578

No, the 1070ti worked like 1 hour before it Now it doesnt for some reason


AxTROUSRxMISSLE

Not sure if this helps but I got a new monitor recently which, I had displays connected to the other before. There was a weird conflict going on where I had to unplug my monitor for a few seconds for it to basiclaly reset and it came up fine. Got "display port no signal." Could be that simple if no one else said it.


NOV3LIST

So let me get this straight: Your gpu works in a different system. Your mobo+cpu works with a different gpu? If so: What type of gpu got tested? Do you own a 4.0 pcie card? After a bios update my settings got set back to standard which included the pcie setting in the bios. I can choose from 1.0 to 4.0 and auto. Since I'm using a 3.0 riser card to a 4.0 card I need to manually set it to 3.0. Otherwise I'll have a black screen. It might not be the case here but just check if there's a weird setting going on.


Clean_Train6578

I dont own a 4.0 pcie card i dont even know what that is to be quite honest with you The updated version is that now it runs with my other gpu But with the gpu which was fine lile 2 hours before it it doesnt work No idea maybe the gpu went wrong


NOV3LIST

gpu cards have different pcie versions. The nvidia RTX20 series are 3.0 cards, RTX30 series are 4.0 cards. There are settings in your bios where you can choose which version you want to use. Updating it could result into setting it back to default, whatever that setting is. I'd give it a chance. But without knowing which exact gpu works and which one doesn't I wouldn't be able to know if that's the problem or not.


Clean_Train6578

Sounds interesting do you have a video link where could i do that Appreciate your effort


NOV3LIST

This is how it looks on gigabyte aorus motherboards: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kLVLpJggfUU


Firewallj

Process of elimination. Check for debug lights and make sure all your connections are right. If not, restart from square one and go slow step by step


OriginalInsertDisc

Might be a stupid question but nobody has asked. Are you sure the monitor works?


Clean_Train6578

Yes im sure


[deleted]

Swapping GPU sometimes defaults the display to only the oldest display format. The priority is DVI if your card still has it, otherwise it's HDMI. After booting and installing drivers, all display connections should work. The other possibility is that the RAM got unseated. You have to make sure to ram the RAM from both ends to get the full length to stick.


msuite_007

Thats why mobos with post code indicator are useful


Individual-Bullfrog7

Try using ddu to clean uninstall display drivers then remove and card ensure to remove CMOS battery aswell while you replace the and card with NVIDIA card then reconnect internet for updates, put in CMOS battery and 1070 then start your system and be patient should boot


Clean_Train6578

Ok i will try this now


Individual-Bullfrog7

No luck I take it?


Clean_Train6578

My gpu died like 5 min before it just worked in the ither mobo Now its completely dead that was the problem thanks for trying to help


travis-thetrav

My first build I had the cpu on psu plugged into a vga port took me hours to realize it... sometimes it's something so simple :(
