Have you tried Safe Mode?
Flashed your BIOS? It sounds to me like an IRQ conflict. Good luck! |

It's probably a graphics driver issue. Your OS can't find the graphics driver on the new hard drive.
Try booting into safe mode, downloading the driver and installing.

Have you tried booting with no Hard Drive installed? Do you have another older drive for porn storage? Dumb question but, have you tried re-seating the video card and making sure the connection from the PSU to card is secure? I've had an issue like this before with a friend and it ended up being he had a wacky ass wire management system and he loosened the pin to the video card when drive swapping.
Before all that, pull the battery on the mobo and leave it out for around 15 minutes to ensure you've reset the CMOS. Last edited by BryanBusby; 10-15-2013 at 12:46 AM.. |

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the suggestions. I am going again. Prior to attempting any of the options above, I verified all connections for the upteenth time. I then powered everything down, unplugged the power cord, held the power button to discharge any excess power and then plugged everything back in and started up and sure enough I have video now. Phew!!!
Thanks again. That was weird. |

I was going to suggest plugging into the right output. I can't tell you how many times I've had people have me come fix their computer because they aren't getting video, when they've just plugged into the built in video cards output rather than the discreet video cards output.
