Well we can say that this is a done deal, because after going through everything once again, I realized that I had one cable unplugged. This was after reading one of the moderator's sig files on things to check. It is so simple to miss something no matter if it is your first build or your 100th. I was just in such a rush to get a box up and functioning that I overlooked something that was right under my nose... :) 


I have read just about every single post here about such a problem, and over he last 25 years I've built about a new box or two for myself or friends once or twice every three years, so I'm not a newbie in this field, but this situation has me stumped.

My situation is a bit different. It is a completely new build in my old case.
My old case is generic. PSU is a Antech True Power 430 W system. I just put in a new GigaByte F2A55M-HD2 MoBo with a AMD A6 6400K CPU - I was having this problem with my old Intel PERL 865 Mobo as well - but I felt that it was due time to upgrade my MoBo in any case...So I am thinking it may be the monitor itself, but I want to make sure I am not missing anything.

Additional H/W includes two HDD - a 750G WD Caviar Drive which my O/S is on and a 1TB WD Caviar drive which is my secondary drive. Both are SATA drives and unless I can get to the BIOS to select the appropriate boot drive, I'm dead in the water.

In most cases this message is because the Monitor, in my case an LG Flatron L1710S, which is nothing special but it has served me well over the years, is not getting a signal from the video out I have checked the continuity of my VGA video cable - all is fine with the cable as i have checked it with a multi meter.

So given that the video component is completely new on my MoBo, the cable is fine, I'm starting to think that it is the Monitor itself. I probably won't be able to test that monitor for a few days, at this point, but if the monitor works out well on another system, then what could possibly be causing this problem?

I have cleaned all the pins on the cable and that has not helped! What else could it be if it is not the monitor itself?

Thanks,

Bill

Try changing the dpi setting to default 100%. Problem should go away.
