I don't know what am doing wrong or if am missing something. these are the parts i bought----> E145-0550,M452-6225,C13-5720, C283-1220,A79-1350,A406-1094. only thing i didnt buy new is the HDD and cd drive. because i use the ones from my old rig.

Is your monitor turned on?

Is your monitor plugged in?

Is the video cable properly attached to your monitor?

Is your computer plugged in?

Is your computer making the standard startup noises when you power on?

yes. everything is properly plug in. only see the light on the motherboard. monitor is plug directly into the new graphic card.Yes it makes the little 1 beep startup thing, I was also wondering if its because my motherboard dont have onboard graphic?

The video card you have needs an additional power cable connected to it from the power supply.



You can see where it plugs in on the corner of the card.

See page 5 of the installation guide for details.

I think maybe i messed up somewhere. when the connection all the wires from power supply to the motherboard. Are there any setting up guide for this?....

Do you hear it beep on start up? Did you reformat the hard drive that has windows? If Not that could be a big reason why your having all the problems you're having. If you left windows from ur old machine your gonna need to wipe it.

You'd have to follow both you're case's manual as well as the motherboard for all the bottom hook ups that go from the case to the bottom of the motherboard.

Than you should consult your power supply manual and the motherboard manual for the right hook ups. Certain power supplies have certain ways especially if they have multiple rails, its highly important.

No two computers are alike being as the massive changes in equipment combo's.

you can try that website and see If it will help you. I can't exactly be sure cause I build computers like looking at the back of my hand but it's worth a shot to look over.

Your motherboard manual is here: http://download2.msi.com/files/downl.../E7693v1.1.zip

Section 2-9 (page 25)

You should have an 8-pin and a 24-pin connection from your power supply to your motherboard.

No need to format anything. You can actually use an old windows installation for a new PC but it is not recommended as it can cause problems. The easiest way to find the problematic part is to remove all stuff that isn't needed to go into the bios screen(HDD, DVD-ROM). After that reset the bios either with the button for it(if there is one) or by removing the bios battery for a few seconds. Then you might want to check if your GPU's fan spins up. You can also try a different PCIe slot for the GPU. Make sure all power inputs on the mainboard and GPU are connected. It might also be a loose contact so try moving the connectors a bit when the PC is off.
