Dom's PC Setup

Thank you Dom ;)

+rep if possible.

Ok Dom. I see your reasoning. Good luck in the future, with your build.

What do you mean the screen isn't working? Is it the computer not outputting an image or the screen? You need to be more specific. Test the screen on a different computer and a working screen on this computer. Has it ever worked?

Good question.

Nice to see that you've built it, do you have any experience in building computers or was this your first?

Yeh we have tried on a different pc. It works on other PC's, just not my one :P Basically it comes up with 'Check Signal Cable' but the only cables that can fit in are in? :P

this was the first time I have built a pc.

Sounds like something is broken.

Start bare-bones external to the case and slowly add parts until it doesn't work.

We havent got an onboard Graphics Card so we cannot take the Graphics Card out! How do we know if thats broken?

Make sure you have the 4PIN 12v cable plugged in (The plug next to the top left of the processor) If it isn't, your GPU may be screwed.

Well yeh :P But you cannot plug a screen in without a graphics card plugged in :P

EDIT: Stephen when I plug in the 4PIN 12v cable it makes the computer restart itself each time. Like it turns off and back on until you remove it.
