My pc has some problem

Closed

Ive just finished building my pc and connect it to my tv via HDMI from the graphics card (the mobo doesnt have) and with the 1st boot (and 2nd, 3rd...) the screen shows veertical lines of various colors or a pink screen. I dont have other card or tv, so im thinking on buying a dvi cable for try again, Any idea of what it can be?

Usually vertical lines point to a defective VRAM.
Can you list the parts of the pc?
Usually almost every board / cpu has an onboard gfx-unit nowadays, except for the 2011 socket and the Xeon-Models with names ending on a 0

Right, the am3 do not have an onboard gfx, but I didn't expect you to have bought that... Anyway, it's quite certainly the graphics card.
