It finally came after three weeks of sending the original order (ugh -_-
, and now here comes the part where I'd normally pull out my hair, but I don't feel like wasting a colossal amount of time screwing around in the dark trying to fix the problem, especially when I have lots of college work ahead of me.
The current problem I have is that I'm trying to install the OS, but the monitors I've tried are saying "no signal found" or something like that. So far, I did this with an Acer LCD and my friend's Samsung HD television (I don't know the model numbers). I would think installing an OS without visual output would be extremely hard.
The computer in question did not come with a video card. Whether the MOBO has an integrated graphics card, I don't know for sure (I'm at a friend's house atm, the manual is at home), but I don't think it does, as the model is "GIGABYTE ...870A-UD3". I took my brother's video card, a 7900 GS with 2x DVI outputs, and installed it. The computer turns on fine as far as I know. Fans run (including the video card), lights light up, the works. And if it matter, it doesn't make any beeping noises.
Any suggestions or quick fixes?
EDIT: Seems the CPU was the culprit. Thank jebus it wasn't a dead MOBO.
