Did you connect the status LEDs from your MBs to your case? Those LEDs help with troubleshooting. No, didnt see any.

At least connect the computer case speaker and see if it beeps. Many motherboards beep when the MB passes initial BIOS check.

Sometimes the PSU has a switch to go between 120V or 240V. Check that. How?

Then don't worry about it. You have the type that auto switches between 120 and 240V.

Does your MB have built in vga or DIV-D output? If it does, try removing the video cards first and plug into MB's own monitor ports. Dont have any built in

Remove one of the video cards and CrossFire link. Treid with only 1 from the start

Is your monitor on? Set to the right input? Don't laugh. I've seen it happen before. ;-) Checked and double checked. Monitor replay "going to sleep"

One other thing to try, reinstall your CPU and RAM sticks. For the CPU, check and see if the ZIF socket arm is down and *locked*.

Check if CPU is placed in mobo as it should be. I nearly sent my mobo back to shop because it was a bit(really a bit) loose. All the fans were on and it seemed like its running, but there was nothing on monitor.

Do you have power to the cards themselves (normally a 6 or 8 pin connector but may be molex).

I've got the same board, but different GPUs, it was a bit tricky to get up until I made sure I'd routed power properly.

Yes, it seems so.
Fans on graphic gards starts. Also all other fans and HD.
USB and sata ports got power.
I have no clue what I have done wrong :-(

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5, Socket-AM3+

2 cards: MSI R9 280x

PSU: Cooler Master V850, 850W PSU

I can se that it gets power when start up, but theres no output to my screen. Its says no input, going to sleep.
