if you mean no signal to your monitor,make sure it's plugged into your graphics card.

 

[Johnny b]

Yeah i have tried both motherboard graphics and the video card,yes i mean no signal to my monitor

it also reboots its self but not sure if thats because of no signal?

 

[Johnny b]

Everything else seems to be working ok

 

[vanthus]

Does your monitor display no signal,if so,
If you're sure that the cable is ok, then the next most common cause of this is a loose graphics card.try reseating it & check for any loose connections,

It is common for parts to break loose during delivery

 

[Johnny b]

do you see anything at all on your screen when booting up?
how do you know it's rebooting.

 

[Johnny b]

No i dont see anything at all i know is rebooting because i can hear the pc shut off then start back up

also i just looked at the hdd and ssd connections and there is only a sata lead coming from my hdd isnt there supposed to be a lead from the psu going in to the hdd too?

yes, there should be a power connection,is that on your OS drive.possibly the connections come loose.

just a quick question what sort of monitor are you using? a tv or a proper monitor? if its a tv you may find the tv cant handle the resolution the pcs guys set the gpu too.
