Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Got my new gaming PC and was setting it upbut have a slight problem. I keep on getting no signal on my monitor. Connected it via the blue cable that comes with it, HDMI and connected it to another monitor but still nothing. Any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieMac90 65 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 u turn it on before you connected the wire to the monitor? sometimes u have to have everything connected before u turn it on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Boot your pc and press f8 to open troubleshooting options and then select VGA default. This should boot the computer using 640 x something. Once booted up you can mess about with the resolution to get it to your monitors highest spec.If when you boot the pc you can see the bios screen and loading screen then the above should work, if it doesn't you will have to connect a VGA cable and go into the bios and change the display output.

j1mgg 3,766 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 What happens if you connect it with just the vga cable or just the hdmi cable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Also are you getting any POST beeps when starting and does it sounds like your machine is booting fully into Windows Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Also are you getting any POST beeps when starting and does it sounds like your machine is booting fully into WindowsNo beeps. Switches on fine, fans go etc. Will take a look inside later incase Overclockers maybe didnt' fully connect everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I was having a blonde moment. Was plugging everything into the motherboard instead of the GFX card, everything is working fine, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 As I thought Was looking at the back and saw "HDMI" and thought it must go here. Obviously not, was only when i looked further down i saw another HDMI input being the GFX but it didn't say it was HDMI so it confused me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
