Hey all,

On Sunday I had an issue with my existing video card (7750) and basically after I opened it there were issues with thermal paste that got onto the chipset and broke it. Today I received my new video card (gtx 650) and installed everything but when I boot it the monitor says no VGA signal even though everything was working fine on Sunday apart from the video card.

I don't understand the issue.

I put the video card in, plug in VGA cable and also use the external power cord to attach them to psu's cables.

CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 220
Motherboard: M2N68-LA
PSU: Corsair 500W (PSU is about 1 month old only)
RAM: 3GB
OS: Windows 7

I also tried onboard graphics but when I had 7750 video card I disabled onboard graphics.

Every fan (including video card) is spinning!

I checked and all cables seem to be plugged in well

Thanks in advance

The thing is that monitor is usually off (orange light), when I remove the VGA cable from the video card the screen on the monitor comes on saying 'Check video cable' but however I put in VGA cable back into the video card and it just says no signal meaning its recognising but there's no signal.

Do you think it could be something with the previous drivers? When I installed previous video card I disabled onboard graphics and I can't get onboard graphics to work anymore. I haven't removed the previous graphics of AMD (maybe the conflict?).
I am really annoyed as the computer was fully working on Sunday and suddenly a change to video card flipped everything upside down

Update: @Presler, I will try, thanks

Update 2: Tried and nothing...

Hi, thanks for answer.

PSU is Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX500) and unfortunately I only have a VGA cable which was fully working on Sunday with the old video card.

I also tried to move jumper pins and even remove cmos battery and try to plug VGA cable into onboard graphics but I still get no signal...

Ok! try a different cable everything seems fine with your setup, unless the card was DOA.

Update 2: Tried and nothing seems to work. :(

Update 3: Thanks for all the help guys. I asked a friend from my class for advice on what to do and he suggested to remove each component individually and then put it back. First component was CPU heatsink and CPU, I replaced it and put it back and then powered on the computer. At first I was hopeless because it didn't boot up but then there was a loud beep that came from PC and it booted up! I successfully installed drivers and then restarted PC (while restarting monitor went to sleep once but just wiggled the VGA cable a bit and it came back). So yeah, got it fixed... at least for now. Thanks for help once again, everything is appreciated.
