I'm currently building my first pc; the monitor does not detect a signal from the video card when connected by DVI. The monitor does detect signal fine when connected to the motherboard by vga and I've successfully installed windows 7 and drivers (except for video card, which is "unrecognized"). When the motherboard is connected to the monitor by VGA, the video card's fan runs, so power is getting to it. This model video card has no ports to plug directly into the psu and I'm pretty sure it gets what it needs from the motherboard. When I turn on the computer with just the GPU connected to the monitor by DVI I just get a black screen with "no signal." The video card is running in the only PCIE slot that can fit it and I have tried many, many times taking it out and putting it back in again to make sure it is securely fit. WhatI've tried: -disabling the internal gpu in the BIOS (it was already set to try to use the PCIE slot). -plugging the vga cord in to the mobo vga and the gpu using the DVI connector, which results in display through the vga but I cant switch source to the dvi connection. -downloading the the driver off nvidia (with the card plugged in) but the download fails because it cant detect the gpu supported by the driver -unplugging and replugging everything into the mobo This is the first time setting up this computer. OS: Windows 7 CPU: Intel i3-4160 Motherboard: ASRock H97M Pro4 GPU: EVGA GTX 750 Case: Cooler Master N200 SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM) RAM: Pareema 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model MD316C81609L2 PSU: SeaSonic SS-300ET United States I have Googled and read the FAQ, and though others have had this issue it seems to be currently unresolved.

That side cant physically go any further in without removing the metal bar on the side of the video card, and the card has a DVI port but no VGA port and did not come with an adapter, so it seems strange to me that it would be VGA only? Yes the video card is in the only PCI-E slot.

Solved, the reason it couldnt be put in straight was because the metal bar on the side of the GPU prevented it from being pushed in that far. I loosened the screws on the mobo to get those sweet extra hundreds of millimeters from the other direction and now everything works great. Thanks for the help and attention!
