No signal

Voorhees · #1 Jul 25, 2008, 02:09 PM

First off, monitor does work when plugged in to my laptop with vga.
But when connected to my newly built system there is no signal at all, graphic card has multiple DVI's and that little round thing

, none of those gives a signal to my pc.

Monitor has a vga connector only, i've tried adapters (vga-dvi & from my tv dvi-hdmi) but no signal there either.

This is making me go nuts, what's wrong ? graphic card ? motherboard or what ?

Please help me out.

the card does not have a VGA input?

You have to get a monitor that will work with what input your card offers as converters seem not to work.

Do you have an older video card around that you can test this on in the new system?

Do you have access to a monitor that has proper connectors to test the card you have to see if it may be the card?

It's just trial and error
