I got a new monitor a few months ago, was on sale super cheap at the same time I was ordering parts for a new PC, so I couldn't pass it up. (189.99 monitor for 139.99 
) and it's been working perfectly. When I first got it I used a VGA to VGA cable with a VGA to DVI - something to my PU (GTX 670) and the normal VGA side plugged into my monitor. Worked fine, but it made my screen flicker kinda weirdly and it seems like the whites were a little orange-y.
So I figured it was probs the jerry rigged cables, so I ordered an HDMI cable. got here, worked fine, fixed the problem, done. been using that PC for a few months now, (i7 3770k, GTX 670, 16GB RAM) and it's been a pleasure. But alas. I went on vacation to mexico for a week, and when I came back the monitor won't come out of sleep mode. I turn on the PC, turn on the monitor. "ASUS: Inspiring Innovation" or something like that, then a big glaring blue screen with a grey box in the middle: "HDMI No signal".
I've used compressed air to dust out all the connections, reinstall reconnect redo re-everything'd everything, and it just won't come on. So I plugged my jerry rigged DVI-Something to VGA setup back in and pressed the button to the left of the power button that filters through all the connections, and sure enough: "DVI No signal" "VGA No signal" "HDMI No signal" Nothin.
I opened up my PC, reinstalled the graphics card, the ram, fastened all the cables, everything. gonna buy a new HDMI cable just in case (The HDMI Cable I'm using is HDMI to HDM, By the way, not HDMI to VGA or anything, got it for like 6$ on newegg) but if that doesn't work I have no clue what to do.
Any suggestions? Thanks a million.
