Hi, i just recently built a new gaming PC.  I can turn my PC on and it runs but i don't get any VIDEO output to the monitor?? The motherboard indicator light is on and the Graphics card light is on, along with the gpu fans. I have 2x4 gigabyte ram sticks and if i try to run the PC with out the ram in the motherboard doesn't beep at all? Ill list my PC specs maybe its compatibility issues, but everything is running in the PC and everything is plugged in correctly. help me please!!

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46
CPU: AMD FX6300
GPU: ASUS RADEON R9 270
RAM: 2x4 PATRIOT VIPER
PSU: ROSWELL HIVE 550 (80 bronze)
Storage: WESTERN DIGITAL 1 TERABYTE

MONITOR: LG (MODEL NUMBER: 22MP56HA)
Did this card ever work in this build ? ?
Have you tried another monitor ? ?
Does onboard grafix work ? ?
Is the 4/6/8 pin graphics power plug in place ? ?

Let us know...Also i just looked at the MBoard layout and noticed 2 PCIex16 slots...have you tried both of them 1 at a time ?I have tried an older monitor and it is doing the same THING.  This motherboard doent have onborad graphics there is a 9 pin connector on the back but it is for something besides video... And the other PCI slot i cant use because the graphics card cant fit in the slot because there are two SATA cable connections to the motherboard there. and how would you do both at once? also why doent the  motherboard beep without ram in it?If the MBoard design is that poor i'd consider returning it for an ASUS or Gigabyte...for not much more money...
I've never been anywhere near impressed with MSI...but that's STRICTLY my opinion.
However that's what i would do.i was going to return the motherboard tomorrow anyway... just wanted to see if i was missing something simple and im also returning my power supply i think, maybe get a 750W i dont know if 550W is powerful enough. what are some good motherboards that will be compatible with my specs?? thanks for the help by the way i needed another opinion. Just look at ASUS or GigaByte MBoards that support that CPU...and go from there...
The rest of the decision resides in your budget.I am surprised that Rosewill has a 80 PLUS Bronze Certified PSU available that you listed: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182131

I dont have much trust in their brand products after design and quality troubles with devices they make other than PSU's. I had to look this supply up. I have seen power supplies that are weak cause the problems you have. Have you tried another power supply that is at least 500 watts and known good to see if the problem goes away?

I'd suggest swapping the Motherboard and PSU, and go with ASUS or Gigabyte for the motherboard and XFX, Corsair, or another better quality power supply if within your budget.

MSI = High Probability for Troubles
Rosewill = Low Quality and HIGHER probability of troublesMy thoughts exactly...
Do it now...while you still can.
