    New computer, no signal to monitor
    Hey guys, I just received a new PC that I ordered, when I connect it to my monitor I get no signal.

    The computer I bought is this http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/343629...searchsource=0

    The monitor is a HP w19.

    All the cables are secure and connected, I get no post beeps, everything (fans,disk drive etc.) sounds like it's working, and the monitor works fine on my other computer.

    With my other computer I have one slot for the white cable and one slightly smaller blue slot for the blue cable, on the new computer I have 2 of the white slots, but I got an adapter with the computer to connect the blue cable with so it fits.

    Really confused as to what it could be and I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give.

    Thanks

    Are you connecting it using DivX or VGA?

    Do you mean DVI? As that is how I am connecting the two.

    Whoops, yeah I meant DVI. Are you sure your video adapter support DVI?

    The adaptor is a 8800 gts, and it has a dual dvi slot/s.

    I only have a normal dvi cable, should I go and buy a dual dvi cable? Could that be the problem?

    I'm going to get a new cable today, if that doesn't work, I'll send the computer back and get a replacement sent. :)

    Thanks for taking your time to answer this guys, I appreciate it.
