PC turns on but no signal on monitor? 970 Gaming Motherboard

So i just upgraded my pc
Corsair Force LX Series 128GB SSD (new)
XFX R9 280x
Seagate 1TB HDD (new)
MSI 970 Gaming MOBO (new)
16GB Ram
Windows 8.1 OS (new)
Rosewill ARC M550 550W PSU (new)
So basically when i turn on my pc, all fans are on and the mobo lights up. But the monitor just stays black! So what i do is just hold the power button to turn it off and try to turn it on again. Now this is the weird part... sometimes it turns on and sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes i need to turn off/on for 3 or 4 times for it to turn on. Sometimes i need to do it just once. Its so inconsistence and strange.
Example:
One day i was just playing a game and suddenly my monitor turns off. The thing is the fans and all is still working. I thought it was the GPU but the fans on the gpu is still on!
My hunch is on the SSD, which holds the OS. But im not sure, could it be the motherboard? My GPU maybe?

So before all this happen, i have a similar setup with different brand of motherboard and PSU. All i bought is a new brand of psu and mobo and i add an SSD. the thing is, i use to have an antec 550w before and my pc just ran fine, no crashes what so over and no problem on boot. But i dont have an ssd back then.
my ram is set to clock speed 1333
i dont think my pc crash, if it did shouldnt my whole pc turns off including all the fans and all? When i was playing the game, my monitor turns black saying no signal but my pc fans, including GPU's fan is running. I have this problem too on boot. When i try to turn on my pc, the pc it self is running (including GPU's fan) but monitor doesnt recieve signals. I have to turn on/off 3-4 times for it to turn on properly. Sometimes it turns on the first time, and sometimes not, its so insistence and strange
If it is my psu, what wattage should it be? Any suggestion that wouldn't break the bank?
I dont think my PC overheats. I have an aftermarket air cooler on my cpu and i have 4 120mm corsair fans running on my carbide air 540. and if it did crash, shouldnt my whole pc turns off? only the display is not getting signals, all my pc components's fan/light is on.

Pavilion slimline light come on but no signal on monitor

the monitor is fine for sure but it says no signal when I turn on my pc. The hard drive don't run I think either as the orange light don't flash nor do I hear it running. Only the fan runs. The keyboard light only flashes at the point when I push the power button. I use the monitor on other pc and it work fine. I can eject the DVD drive tho while the light power light is on. What's wrong, please help!!
This question was solved.

A lot of hp slimline main board were manufactured with a defect. Hp have extended watenty on these models that they have listed. I spoke to several online techs that eventrually deemed my pc as having such problem due to the problems that I described and the results of all the routine trouble shoot procedures that they asked me to carry out. There is a particular link that describes the situation, and that they have extended the waranty period for such models till dec 09. I got them send me a return box for me to get the part replaced. Pretty neet afterall. I can't post the link because I'm using my iPhone therefore can't copy the link.

Mac mini won't start up. No signal by monitor, No sad mac

After my mac mini went to sleep today, it refused to wake up. I thought it was the keyboard, so I restarted the mac, it chimes, HD seems to spin, but no signal on monitor. I tried a 2nd monitor and no go.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I was able to get the mini to boot into target disk mode....
can the video card portion go bad?
I tried zapping PRAM and that didnt do anything
Does target disk mode mean that the RAM memory is ok?

Equium A300D-16C turns on but the screen shows nothing/stays black

Hi there, I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-16C laptop.
It was fine until now...
When I press the power button, my laptop turns on but the screen remains black / off.
HDD indicator doesn't flash or anything ... ( in case this helps )
I've also tried to remove the battery, hold the power button for 30s and plug the power cord back in... Same thing laptop turns on but screen is black.
I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
I haven't changed anything inside my laptop or unscrewed it.
PS:
I quite often kept my laptop on the bed/pillow so it may have something to do with overheating or something.
How did I get to this point:
Yesterday my laptop was fine, there was nothing wrong with it... I switched it off at night but when I tried to switch it back on this morning that's where I faced this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rejanu.

Hello

Its very good that you have this test with an external monitor because so you could make sure its not related to internal monitor and its working properly.
Well, you have tried a lot so my personal opinion is its a serious hardware malfunction It could be related to mainboard or CPU in my opinion
I think such hardware diagnostic can only be done from an authorized service provider. I think you should contact the guys. They can help you to get rid of this problem :)

MSI 970 Gaming Hardware Monitor FAN profile not working in windows

Hi,
Not sure how this is supposed to work but when I'm in the hardware monitor and I set a min max temp for the fans, it works great in the bios you can see the speed increasing with the temps.
However when I'm in windows the it is stuck at the lowest RPM and speed doesn't increase when the temps raises.
Anyone know the solution to this?
Windows 8.1 x64 using Aida64 to test.
Thanks

I'm guessing this isn't my lucky day. I put the BIOS on a mem stick, go in to the BIOS select M-FLASH > Update BIOS > Select the USB stick and BIOS file and BIOS just freezes. I waited for a while because I was afraid it was somehow doing the update and I would interrupt thus breaking the BIOS/Motherboard. Eventually I Hard reset and thank god bios came up again so I tried again, same problem.
I think i'll wait for release notes, it works now and unless there is something worthy in it I'd rather stay away from it. If it ain't broken don't fix it
I admit this thread is puzzling...I have the MSI "970 Gaming" motherboard--and it is so named because it houses the AMD 970a core-logic chipset...It doesn't appear as if the "M.33" bios at the above link is designed for my board--but maybe it is, I can't tell... Current bios is 2.22 (no "M" anywhere)--Just in case we are actually speaking of the same motherboard, I have the same experience with my fan controls in that they seem not to work with the Command Center in the way that you'd think they should work. Command center is theoretically supposed to run at boot, and any setting you save for system fans 1 & 2 (plus the cpu fan, of course) *should* run when the program runs at boot and you have saved your system fan settings to "smart mode"... (Says he who is wondering if he's just made a dumb post...) At least, that's what I *think*...Anyway...that apparently does not happen so I pulled Command Center out of my boot-up routine.
You know, if you and I don't have the same motherboard then why do two completely different motherboards bear the same name? Eh?
Of course, I just may be thoroughly confused about all of this somehow...!

HT3180 My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!

Was the restore done via iTunes?

If so then you may need to take it to Apple.

I could be *very* wrong but did not know you could output from HDMI into displayport consistently with no issues.
Try a mDP to DP cable like this (the mDP end will go directly into the thunderbolt port of your laptop)

Hello Joecal18
Check out the Power/Battery section of the iPhone hardware troubleshooting guide below. If it continues after that you may need to restore the iPhone and test it as a new device.

Ok so a little update. After being fustrated for a bit, i just left it alone and used my dad's old computer. after a day, i just try my luck and turn on my computer that wasnt functioning right and surprise! the monitor turned on with the comp! yay!
so after saving the few documents i needed i was able to play games for a while and watch matrix revolutions. fun! but during thing time of bliss, i get an error that said bios checksum error or cmos checksum error 2 times during the day, and i cant really recall...dang it... then at night it like, reboots, but the monitor doesnt reboot with it. and i turn it off and turn t on again, and hooray! the same problem, my monitor doesnt turn on with the comp. sweet right? so i just leave it be for the rest of the night and i go to sleep and my monitor still wont turn on with the comp....even tho everything in teh comp turns on.
its gay. im gonna try to change the mobo battery. or something. lol. cause i was reading somewhere if it was a cmos checksum error, a simple battry change would do the trick. but for the monitor not turning on, im still and pissed at it.
when i get a laptop, im just gonna RMA every piece of that hardware. so any other comments or suggestions? any would be appreciated.

TS1587 My friend has a G4 that will NOT turn on at all. The monitor power button will light up, but monitor won't turn on; the the computer power button lights up when pressed but won't stay on and nothing else happens. He said it USED to at least turn

Anyway, not sure if my question was sent, so here it goes: My friend's G4 won't power on....the power button lights up briefly when pressed, but nothing happens....and, cannot even get the montior to power on...does the same thing. He said it used to at least turn on, but now it's doing this. Help!!?? What should we do??

If you are able to use a multi-meter, you can test to see if the power supply is culprit. Use the Power Mac G4: Power Supply Voltage Test (Sawtooth G4) document to aide you in the proceedure.
If not the Sawtooth, Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet): Power Supply Voltage Test.
If a Quicksilver, use the pinout of the QS PSU connector here:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/MDDps_mods/MDD_PSMods.html#update
and a testing description here:
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/D275729F-09DA-4FBB-96B3-BEEEB2C 04619.html
The test description is for a MDD, but the basics are the same.
If a MDD,follow my instructions in the linked articl above.
One should also try a PMU reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1939
One should also replace the 1/2 AA PRAM battery.
Also, check that the 20, 22, 24 pin connector is properly fitted to the motherboard, and that the wires are properly inserted in the connector. There is also a 10 wire ribbon, which goes from the motherboard to the power button board. Make sure that the ribbon is firmly connected at both ends, and that there is no apparent damage to the ribbon.
If the power supply tests good in a MDD, the power switch board could be suspect.

Since update download monitor shows "No Signal" and "Monitor Going to Sleep" over and over

I have an HP w2072a Monitor and a Pavillion p7-1436s computer. I run Windows 8. Since downloading an update yesterday, I cannot get my monitor to work. I have unplugged it, plugged it in, tried another monitor, tried another cable, turned the computer off and on several times, played with the sleep button, tried all the buttons on the monitor--nothing works. If I hit the "On" button, the light turns to blue briefly, I get the screen showing "No signal" then "Monitor Going to Sleep" comes up and the light turns amber---over and over again. Could this be related to the update I received? I think the update said it was setting a restore point, but with no monitor, I am stuck!

Hi dianthus,
Sorry to hear about the issue after doing the update. Do you recall what the update was for? I have included a document regarding your issue.

My mac mini wont turn on but there is power to it as the usb port charges my iPad

My mac mini wont turn on but there is power to it as the usb port charges my iPad. My monitor uses a HDMI cable when the mac mini is off it says no input received which it does not say so it is receiving some signal from the mac mini. I have tried a different cable and a different monitor/ hdmi cable. The fan isnt running there is no start up noise but the little light on the front blinks every 4-5 seconds. Im booked in to see a GENIUS on sunday but I was wondering if there is anything I can do in the mean time. The mac mini is only 8 months old if that. Any ideas people? Oh the mac is also running mountain lion and has been since the day of release i've never had a problem up until this.

The following table lists the new tones and their meaning:
Tone(s)          Description
1 tone, a 5-second pause, repeat          No RAM installed
3 successive tones, a 5-second pause, 3 successive tones          RAM does not pass data integrity check
1 long tone when holding down the power button          Firmware upgrade in process. See About firmware updates for Intel-based Macs for more details.
3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones          Firmware restoration from CD in process. See About the Firmware Restoration CD (Intel-based Macs) for more details.

Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

My g5 2ghz tower turns on but nothing on screen

my g5 2ghz tower turns on but nothing on screen. I've tried changing video card and still turns on but monitor is black saying that there's no signal.

Hmmm, assuming both video cards aren't bad, then it must be a logic board problem.
Does hold alt, option or shift key at bootup show anything?

CAN I TURN MY MACBOOK PRO INTO A MONITOR?

Help I want to turn my Macbook Pro into a monitor for my Playstation 2 so that way I can record on my screen using quicktime. please help I used a vga adapter from apple a AV to vga converter, and is their any way for me to use an iphone on a mac to play ios games while recording?

I don't think you can without some sort of capture card (very expensive, and because most MacBook Pros don't have a card, you need to use the FW800). MBP's Thunderbolt port only sends video signals out, you can't attach an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable from your camera to the MBP and expect to show video.
You could try a utility like Sofortbild.
