No Display Showing up on Monitor

willogio · May 10, 2014

So last weekend a few friends and I decided to have a small LAN party at my house, we moved into another room from where my PC was to have more space. So I unplugged my computer and moved it into the other room and set it up, all was fine while they were over. So come a few days ago I finally got around to moving my PC back into my room where it normally is and i set it up again and everything is normal, all the fans come on etc. So I go to plug my computer into my monitor and there's no display, this happens quite frequently and is fixed by just unplugging and re-plugging it in, but it still doesn't work. I've tried two different monitors, one of which i was using while my friends were here and nothing comes up. I don't what to do as all the fans come on and nothing was damaged. If someone could give me a suggestion that'd be great I've run out of ideas and I'm now starting to worry.

Thanks

Can you see any physical damage to the display port?

plaintuts :

No, there is absolutely no damage. I didn't drop it or anything I just simply moved it from one room to another.

Are you able to see anything at all on the screen when it starts to boot? or just a black screen the whole time? It sounds like the case, but just clarifying.

So correct me if im wrong,

Sometimes the monitor works by unpluging and re-plugging the connector, but now it totally doesnt work.

Do you have more than one HDMI slot on the monitor and/or computer?

danny2000 · May 10, 2014

Oh, and if you have a vga connector, on the motherboard or the video card, try to use that to test.

danny2000 :

There is only one HDMI port on the monitor, but I have a second monitor and it says the same thing.
There's one HDMI port on my GTX 770, but I also have a DVI to HDMI port which I also tried

does your motherboard have a vga connector?

Also verify in your bios/uefi that it is using the PCI-E slot and not the motherboard slot. You may have to change this also to test with the VGA connector and vice-versa.

danny2000 :

No my Motherboard doesn't have any display ports, how would I be able to verify anything in the BIOS if I can't see anything on the screen?

I will just wait for the reply on my last post then.

danny2000 · May 10, 2014

willogio :

True...duh.

Which make and model is your GTX 770?
Which make and model is your motherboard?
The GTX 770 most-likely has a VGA connector on it.

plaintuts :

yes, sometimes i just re connect it and it works but now it won't work.

willogio · May 10, 2014

danny2000 :

I have an EVGA GTX 770
An Asus M5A97 R2.0 or something like that i don't really remember.
and i'm not too sure what a vga connector looks like so i'm not sure if it does.

Try to reseat the gpu (" just remove the card then put it back in") and unplug and replug the power connector.

Also give it a little dusting off.

Then try to boot up, listen if you hear a beep sound from the motherboard.

plaintuts :

YES! It worked by reseating it! Thank you so much I don't know how I can re pay you but thank you, I haven't been able to use my PC in a week, time to game!
