    Built New PC, monitor stays in Power Save

    Just installed the sixth standoff. Same issue. I've been thinking about taking it to a repair shop but I don't know if they'll be able to do much more than I can. Of course, they'll have more expertise.

    Built New PC, monitor stays in Power Save

    Actually I do have two standoffs just sitting in holes but they're not near the motherboard. That would short it? And the monitor worked when I hooked my laptop up to it, so it's not the monitor. I've also tried hooking up my PC to the TV via HDMI and it didn't work either, so I'm pretty...

    Well what I failed to mention is that this is my first build, lol. What I have in the PC is the only stuff I have on hand, so I have no spare parts at all.

    To answer Smith's question, yes I have 5 standoffs under the motherboard. I'm 100% sure the bottom of the motherboard isn't touching the case, but the side of the motherboard, where the connectors come out of the back is pretty close to the case, but it's sturdy and shouldn't get to the point...

But I built my PC by using PC Part Picker, it told me everything was compatible. I reached out to MSI about the issue and they said I need to use a 550...

    No connector. And I've also confirmed there isn't one with the MSI website.

    Built New PC, monitor stays in Power Save

    Just checked. No place for a 6 pin connector to plug into the GPU. It just directly plugs into the PCI slot on the motherboard and it powers on. The 6 pin from my GPU is just hidden in the back panel of the case.

    Yes I have made sure the gpu is seared correctly. Although, the PSU doesn’t directly connect to my GPU. I’ve hooked my laptop up to my monitor and it displays perfectly. As for the HDD, what would I need to hear to know it’s being accessed? And yes, I’ve also tried hooking the dvi to the...

    On another forum someone said that could be a problem, but I didn't really look into that. The PC would be able to power on if it was shorting?
