Is it not possible to boot and get something on the screen without using a Pcie card? I have tried HDMI, VGA and Dvi, and nothing seems to give a picture, do I have to do something with a jumper?

you don't need a pci-e.too get the screen.if you put in a pci-e then you need to connect the cable to the pci-e card. you should get something out of the hdmi vga or dvi.if not then there is something wrong. Now is this a new built.and what are the system spec.

Will try resetting the BIOS when I get home, if that dont work I will take the GPU from my desktop and put in, but it says in the manual that pci-e is default, just seems stupid it cant detect there is none and not post from one of the others
