Solved I Cant Get My Boot Drive To Work (Boot Drive LED on) Or VGA

  • 7

I recently built my first PC build and finally got the PSU plugged in and ready to run. Once I turned the computer on via the power button it went through the post boot. All the LEDs did their thing and then it stopped at the boot drive LED and remained on. I have read many of these threads that go over this situation but haven’t been successful trying them although if recommend again i will try everything . Also I cant get a video signal when connecting a VGA cable to my monitor to even see any type of screen. the monitor just goes into sleep mode(cant get into BIOS). i have no other components or computers to test anything on being it is my first build ever.

If i cant figure this out with you guys, should i go to people who could look at and fix it for me like Geek Squad?

My Build:
NZXT CA-PH240-W1 White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
G.SKILL Trident X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200)
Intel Core i5-4460 Haswell Quad-Core 3.2GHz LGA 1150
SAMSUNG DVD Burner SATA Model SH-224DB/RSBS
CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91
ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0
ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX760 2GB GDDR5 256-bit, DVI-I/DVI-D/ HDMI/DP

      A quick look at the specs for the motherboard shows it has onboard display adapters… So perhaps remove the add-in graphics card and connect your display monitor directly to the motherboard output? As I say earlier I’m not familiar with current boards…; but possibly you need to disable the onboard adapter manually to allow an add-in card to operate? So try to get a screen to view at least via the onboard graphics; and set the system up using that approach. Then if successful, install your add-in graphics card and follow its setup instructions carefully.
