Let me know your Monitor Connectivity Options like HDMI,VGA,DVI-D,DVI-I.Also let me know are you using HDMI or DVI ?

VGA DVI HDMI

I'm using VGA

zeltrax :

ok you connected to GPU's VGA port or Motherboard's VGA port? If you connected to Motherboards VGA port that will not work when PCI-E Installed.

Try DVI or HDMI it will work

Okay the VGA cable is connected to the DVI port on the graphics card to the VGA port on the monitor do what you said has mad no difference. Im trying to figure out if the gpu or monitor is faulty.

I have also disabled the onboard graphics in the bios and in the pc so it only uses the gpu.

So You are using VGA to DVI adapter ?

I think adapter is faulty.Get proper DVI to DVI or HDMI to HDMI Cord.That will be solution for this problem.

logang · Mar 30, 2014

and you've tried both HDMI and VGA inputs in your monitor?

zeltrax · Mar 30, 2014

logang :

yes. but I dont want to use hdmi.

logang · Mar 30, 2014

Does it work with HDMI and you don't want to use it, or it doesn't work with HDMI?

zeltrax · Mar 30, 2014

logang :

the hdmi has the same problem with the VGA screen has no signal till i turn it off at the back then on again

logang · Mar 30, 2014

And with your cousin's monitor it worked every time you turned it on?

zeltrax · Mar 30, 2014

logang :

Yes had no problem

logang · Mar 30, 2014

I would guess it has something to do with your monitor then but it is weird that it works at some times but not others.

Probably you have a problem with your monitor. If everything is okay with another monitor, same condition, then your monitor is being choosy. It's either compatibility issues or it's somewhat defective.
