So I just purchased a brand-new motherboard (AsRock FM2A85X Extreme 6), Case (Corsair 200R), and Graphics Card (Radeon R7 250) From MicroCenter in Madison Heights, Michigan.
I put these parts into my case, along with a WD blue 1TB HDD, AMD A10 5800K quad core processor with heatsink/fan cooling, LiteOn cd/dvd reader/writer, and two DDR3 RAM cards of different brands and capacities (Gskill and Crucial, Both at 1333MHz, and 4GB and 2GB respectively).
Here's the issue.
The computer is connected to a Proscan flat-screen via HDMI through the graphics card output. When the computer is turned on, a 'no signal' message is displayed on the television. I have removed and cleaned dust on the RAM, removed the CMOS battery and replaced it after five seconds, re-seated just about everything, and still, I get no signal on the television.
My brother believes that our power supply (Diablotek 350W)
might not be strong enough for the parts that I have installed.
Is the power supply too small for my build?
Could that be what's causing our computer to not send a signal to the television?
I have no OS, but want to install Ubuntu and have created a bootable disk, but haven't gotten any farther, as I can't see what's going on.
Are there some suggestions as to what I should try to get this thing running?
