Hey Sup Forums,
I recently built my first ever pc and when I turn it on, every thing is working, the fans are spinning and such. But here's the problem, I connected my pc to my Tv through hdmi and shows a black screen with "no signal" in the middle of the screen. Any ideas?
Side note: I also plugged the pc into a monitor and same results.

Part list?
are you using a video card? video card likely bork or not installed correctly
are you plugging into the motherboard? make sure you're not just getting output on only one connection -- read your motherboard manual in regards to this
and for fucks sake for future reference don't be one of those retards who doesn't google their issues, reads the docs, but also doesn't provide any fucking relevant info
At least list the parts you have in your build
if the mobo is second hand with cpu make sure integrated GFX is not switched off if youre not using a GFX card.
Only one hdmi cord is connected from the tv to the pc, and through the motherboard. The manual only had 4 pages and is wasn't a step by step instruction, just labels
Alright, I'll make sure to check on that
Connect it to the PC through the video card.
I did, no signal
Try using the motherboard port but without the take the video card out of the PC. You might also have problems with your ram, so try running one of the sticks and then the other (seperately)
but without the video card*
I did, no signal. I also checked the ram, still nothing
Have you made sure that the input settings on the tv is set to hdmi yet? Have you turned it off and on yet? Have you tried resetting it? Just figured I'd point out the obvious possibly solutions.
How do I reset the tv settings?
On the remote there should be either a menu button or a setting button depending on the type of tv. From there double check the input settings to make sure it is set to the correct hdmi input (some tvs have more than 1 hdmi so make sure you get the right one) .usually the reset button is the last available option. For more info on how to do that Google the make and model of you tv and find the online Manuel for it.
Unplug everything out of the psu and motherboard, then plug them back in firmly
are you using the right output part? (example HDMI 1) if it has multiple ports?
that could be your issue, though im sure you know how to buttons
Don't listen to the other anons here ignoring the fact that you've tried it with a monitor and a tv, what you need to do is get a Seasonic PSU with more wattage. It's always good to overshoot, I'd recommend you power off your PC and don't try to turn it on again until the new PSU shows up. A new gaming keyboard with yellow neons for power wouldn't hurt.
Sweet Republic of Goyim.
plug the hdmi cord into the video card, not the mobo
made that mistake on my 1st build
Did that, went though all the sources
No signal
There is 2 hdmi outports, one from mobo and graphics card, tried both of them and still no signal /:
Hmmmm, seems tempting, thanks, I'll try to get it
Ok
same here
Had the exact same problem , turned out the CPU was fried. I RMAed it and once i got the replacement it POSTed and its been working fine ever since.
Already tried it
The cpu is new
Could it be that I placed too much thermal paste? I placed like a rice grain size and spread it around on the cpu back.....but idk
>The manual only had 4 pages

If you didn't get the full manual you might have gotten a return item. send it back
Thanks, the mobo is working fine so I might probably get another one if it's defective /:
Doesnt matter that its new , they do come DOA as much as graphics cards do. There can be a problem if the thermal paste touched the pins on the motherboard
Also try connecting it through a different port
Ugh, great, so there might be a chance that the cpu could be defective or good and I have no idea since my tv can't get a signal with my pc /: I checked and no thermal paste has seeped through on the cpu
I did, no signal /:
How do you know the mobo is working fine if you have no video from the mobo?
Well, the fans connected to the mother board is working fine, the cpu cooler is spinning, and the graphics card's fans are spinning. So I'm guessing it's working
If the CPU was good you wouldnt make this thread. 6700ks have an insane failure rate , ive seen 15 or so threads here and on plebbit about them coming doa but for haswell ive seen 2 or 3. Fans spinning up and lights switching on means motherboard is doing its job as intended but CPU is fucking up. There is a way to test tho , let it cool down for a few minutes then boot up and after 15-20 secs of no signal shut it down and touch the cpu. If its not hot at all or its blazingly hot that means its foobar
Also if you have a power button led is it functioning?
Alright, going to test it. People kept on telling me "Oh, get the best so you won't upgrade for a few years", uggggh
the led buttons are working fine
Guys, this might sound dumb of me. I only have the hdmi connected to the TV to the PC. Shouldn't I get the red,yellow, and white cables connected as well?
that just means it has power
Oh
are you getting any error beeps?
No, not at all
