Computer Turns On but No Display

[Talyor]

Alright so i recently took out everything of my system and put it back togather but now it doesnt have any display. I have Gigabyte m68mt-s2 motherboard GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3 - GA-M68MT-S2 (rev. 1.3) and a AMD Radeon 6670 Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-R667D3-1GI Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

The build turns on with all the fans going and even the graphics card fan going but nothing goes on the display. For the motherboard graphics i can't find out how to turn them on since i cant see the motherboard bios so you guys have any ideas for me to try to get the motherboard graphics on and to see if its just the graphics card?

Can I just ask why are there 2 threads with the same name with the same stuff?? K could you or another mod please move this to Monitors, Printers and Peripherals? As it involves a screen issue.
OP: What kind of connection are you using? VGA HDMI or something else? Also have you tried checking the BIOS for any issues?

the motherboard has on board video, did you connect you monitor to the video ports to the gigabyte video card or the on board video port?

Since you said you took everything out of your system.. triple check all connections (power connectors, PCI cards, graphics card, RAM, etc.). Make sure it's all tight / secured in. RAM could be the most common one, as everything will appear to run fine, but no video will come up on screen if one of the RAM modules isn't in tightly. I've done this several times myself.

Can you see bios post or no?

He stated in his first post he can't see BIOS.

You could try this out, with your card removed and 1 stick of ram, try to reset your motherboard.
clear out the cmos, by moving the jumper for 30 seconds, put it back in, unplug the cord, so the power will discharge out of your board.
Come back in about 2-3 minutes, plug in your cord, hit the on switch on the psu.
If you noticed it powers on without signaling on the motherboard with a green led light something maybe up.
If not, turn on your computer, plug in a good ps2 keyboard, if all goes well, you should see your bios screen!
Next, go to the menu in your bios that says graphic and put it on pci 1 or pci-e slot.
Save in bios, turn off your machine and put back the card, make sure the screw is in but not to tight, that may stop your card from posting up correctly.

Happens with me sometimes, so be patient and try to get it to post up.

I haven't seen any lights on a MB either.

Not all boards have lights on them - it's a manufacturer thing, usually.

Have you checked all of your connections to make sure everything is secured?

Also, try resetting your BIOS settings to default. Do this by unplugging the computer from the wall, press the power button a few times to discharge any remaining power, and then remove the silver coin battery on the motherboard. Leave it out for a few minutes, and then place it back in, and plug your computer back in. Try turning the computer on and see if it gets to POST now.

You can also clear BIOS by putting a jumper on the CMOS_CLR pins for a few seconds (with the computer off). Check your motherboard manual to find out where these are located for sure.
