I am using this monitor:

With a Lenovo y570 laptop:

I am using a HDMI to DVI cable to connect the two since the monitor does not have a HDMI port and the laptop does.
The laptop does not seem to recognize the monitor being there but the monitor recognizes that it is plugged into something, also I can move my mouse off the screen seemingly onto the screen of the monitor but there is still no picture.
I updated the video card drivers and still nothing.
I tested the monitor with a PS3 and it worked with that so I assume its to deal with the laptop.
If i take a screenshot it shows the monitor there, but nothing is showing on the monitor:

VGA cable seems to work just fine. Maybe the laptop has some trouble outputting in HDMI.
Any help is appreciated!
