Would be good to see a list of your equipment: brand/model
Quick checks: extra power connection to video card?
4 pin connectors to the mobo connected?
more than one video connection/try all

That motherboard has an integrated video card, so an additional video card is not needed.

Maybe try another monitor...I am just taking a stab in the dark.

It would help if you post all brands/specs of your machine.

Make sure all of the power connectors are connected.

There's the 20 or 24 pin power connector, followed by a 4-pin (2x2 block) alternate power for the motherboard, which plugs into a slot near the CPU.

yes, i have 2 connections going from the power supply to the motherboard, the 2X2 connector and the big one, i guess the 20 pin connector!

I would try and reset the CMOS

※ Clear CMOS Procedures:
1. Remove AC power line.
2. Set the jumper to “Pin 2-3 close”.
3. Wait for five seconds.
4. Set the jumper to “Pin 1-2 close”.
5. Power on the AC.
6. Reset your desired password or clear the CMOS data.

also make triple sure your ram is seated correctly
