Just built a new pc w/ asus a97z w/kingston hyper X 16 gig, 260 gig evo ssd w/4690 cpu @ 4.5 Was running the PC off of a TV via hdmi bc Im waiting on picking a monitor. It was working fine until my asus gpu came in. I installed that & now when I put the HDMI cable in the TV says no signal...Wether I put it in the GPU or the mobo GPU it still doesnt work..I know its not the HDMI cable bc when I plug it into my old PC it works perfectly fine..Is there anyway to trouble shoot whats gone wrong?
 
Wait, how were you connecting the PC to the TV before the new GPU came in?
Did you go into the UEFI and tell the motherboard to boot from the video card first?
 
Simple I just connected an HDMI cable to my Asus z97 board it has integrated gpu. It was working perfectly fine but now that Ive got the asus GPU installed it no longer works & says no signal in both the GPU or Motherboard via HDMI cable. I thought the HDMI cable was acting up but it works perfectly fine on my old PC when I plug it into my GPU. I cant even go into the UEFI bc there is no signal thanks for the fast response!
 
Remove the video card.
Connect the HDMI to the onboard video.
Go into UEFI.
 
Thanks dang man but why would it be saying no signal? I've never had onboard video before so not sure

Because there's no signal.

Also, remember to connec the power cables to the video card when you reconnect the video card.
 
All I did was install a gpu nothing was done to onboard video to have no signal?
 
Sorry for the late reply but where in the bios do you tell the mobo to boot which gpu?
I connected my dvi cable to the gpu and that works but hdmi doesn't...

Try a different HDMI cable?
The UEFI option should be something like "PCI-E" or PCI" or "PEG". Just read the manual.
 
I know it's not the hdmi cable bc it works perfectly fine on another pc...also it was working perfectly fine before I installed the new gpu.
 
So the video card works just fine when you connect the DVI port to another monitor Try this: Connect a monitor to the DVI port on the video card. Then connect the TV via HDMI. Make sure that monitor is the primary monitor. Enable the TV via HDMI. See what happens then. Might just be a software/driver issue.
 
Thanks dang for the fast reply I will def try that out when I get a chance.
BTW my Samsung 840 EVO-should I be running that in M2 mode or sata express on the motherboard or just regular sata?

Wait, what? Those are different SATA connectors, not modes.
 
That's what I meant should my ssd be hooked up to that for faster speeds?

Ok, those are three very different and incompatible connections. Your SSD is only compatible with one of those connections. Understand?
 
I see so the ssd can only be run on regular sata and not the express or m2
 
Ok dangman I tried your advice: plugged hdmi into TV then into Intel GPU, DVI from monitor in asus GPU. DVI into gpu works however, HDMI still doesnt. I tried to plug HDMI into asus 970GPU & still nothing...plugged HDMI cable into Old PC which has a 660 asus GTX works perfectly fine..I seriously doubt the HDMI port on both the intel gpu & asus gpu are bad. & the hdmi cord itself cannot be bad if it works on my old pc..

Did you try this part?:

Not all video cards/drivers/software/OSes enables the second monitor/TV automatically. Hence why you have to manually enable it.
 
Just look in the driver software or the properties setting you get when you right click on the desktop. Or google.
