So I bought my new rig the other day, everything was fine until after it was all set up and I swapped my HDMI to my TV and used DVI for my Monitor instead. The monitor just displays no input... So I put the HDMI back into my BenQ monitor and was discussing this with a friend. Then I decided to swap the DVI back just for a shot in the dark! boom, it worked! However I tried to open my Geforce Experience a day later and it went back to the same issue.. I am getting very frustrated at this point. I am willing to try any suggestions! Please help!

Processor : Intel i5 4670k
Graphics: ASUS Geforce GTX 760 DirectCUII OC
MOBO: Z87- G45 MSI
Monitor: BenQ RL2455

Not sure I can answer the concern - but I do have clarifying questions.

Are you hot-swapping or are you re-booting each time you re-run the cable? Depending on the hardware it may not be capable of adjusting to on-the-fly changes in cables (although most are - so this is interesting.)

Have you tried keeping both cables attached and see what you get for results?

Also try both attached and connected to monitors.

You could also look into BIOS and Firmware updates.

Good luck.

Well after giving up the first time and talking with my friend for a while I decided to just hot swap it and it worked. Ive tried having them both connected and rebooting. It just picked up my TV and treated it as the main and gave me "No input" on the monitor. With just the monitor on DVI it boots to the windows loading screen then says no input, however the screen also displays only a 800x600 square.. Really odd experience..
