Ferrari, you are the best. I love you, man!

I got the display working, and now I need to configure the BIOS and everything. Thanks!

To everyone that posted in this thread, thanks a lot for your help.

@ferrari2001: I can't take any pictures right now unfortunately, but this is what my card looks like:

The idea of utilizing both the 6-pin and 2-pin plugs on one of my cables for the port on the left just popped into my head, so I'm going to try that out and see how it goes. There's also another 8-pin connector I can use, but according to the label on the cable, it says it's for the CPU. I don't know if that would work. (?)

Anyway, you'll be hearing an update from me relatively soon.

@ferrari2001: I only have one cable plugged in. There's a six-pin port and an eight-pin port on the card, and I don't have any cables that fit into the eight-pin port (the corresponding port on the PSU is also eight-pin).

It doesn't matter if I use a six-pin connector with the eight-pin port, does it?

@ferrari2001: Sapphire AMD R9 290

So I've been fiddling around with the video ports and nothing is working. Tried both video ports, as well as the HDMI port (both at the same time as well as separate). Nothing is working. Display is simply not happening.

Anyone have any other ideas?

@Truth_Hurts_U: Sorry, they're in both grays. That's what I meant.

@jun_aka_pekto: Hah, okay, so I got it to "power up", but not post. Gotcha.

The RAM is in the alternating coloured slots because if two sticks are right next to each other, the CPU won't power up. I have that figured out now.

I heard that you need to plug the monitor into the onboard video input first to be able to access the BIOS, but my motherboard (Gigabyte GA 990 FX) doesn't seem to have one. If it does, I certainly wouldn't know because none of the inputs match my monitor cable; I can only plug my monitor into the inputs on my video card (unless there's another cable that I need to use or something).

I'm going to play around with the video ports for a bit and see if I get anything.

UPDATE: The CPU fan is working now. I guess if you **** around with the CPU fan input enough, it'll just start working eventually. So the computer is fully posting now.

Now, I need to get it to boot. I'm getting no display on the monitor yet.

It is plugged in. And it still isn't running.

Okay, well, I got the computer to post. The CPU however doesn't seem to be working; the CPU fan isn't running. Will there be a difference once the monitor is plugged in? Everything seems to be plugged in correctly (this time, at least).
