Computer is a new HP , fan is spinning on the computer, came with a monitor adapter, all seemed to fit perfectly. Monitor is a cheap emachine , big old thing.

I know it's possible the emachines monitor may be used up, trying to trouble shoot, It worked the last time I had the old emachine plugged into it.
The old emachines kept shutting itself off, maybe that damaged the monitor. I'm just trying to avoid a new monitor if I can.
