My Monitor Won't Detect PC (No Signal)

Adrian1 · Oct 24, 2014

So I just made my new gaming PC and I built it and everything, but my monitor will just stay in hibernation mode/orange light and I can't get it to work together. Can you help??
Things I've tried:
Connecting VGA (monitor) to DVI (GPU)
Connect VGA (monitor) to VGA (Motherboard)
Remove GPU and Connect VGA (monitor) to VGA (monitor)

GPU XFX 6790

Can you list all your system specs so we know what you are working with. have you tried that monitor on another computer to be sure it works? Do you have another monitor you can try on your system? Do you hear your system post?

The XFX HD-679X-ZRFC model was a horrible failure-prone card. Hopefully you don't have that one.

Do you hear your system post? What do you mean? all the fans are working, HDD is vibrating too.

I connected my Laptop on which I'm writing to you guys to the monitor with a VGA cable. It works, just contrast is quite low (screen more yellowy white).

Another thing I thought was worth noting, is that the monitor is 3-4 years old. I read somewhere that there is a old and a new vga port and the old one isn't compatible with the others?

A 9 pin VGA port is the same weather it is 1 month old or 5 years old. When you system post you'll hear a beep before it starts to load the O/S. Did you pull the VGA card out of the system before you tried to use the on-board video? Usually when you plug a VGA card into a motherboard it disables the on-board video. You have a DVI-D connector on the motherboard that is a Digital version so you can't use an adapter with it to convert it to a VGA. The VGA or DSUB 9 pin is an analog interface. If it was a DVI-I it would work with DVI-D you'd get no signal thru the adapter.

Update: Tried it on TV downstairs, doesn't work.

Some times they won't work with certain TVs. So the monitor works on you notebook?

littleleo :

I tried it with the Graphics card first - that was the very first boot. And yes it appears that the motherboard (maximus hero vii) does have a DVI-D

littleleo :

Yes

One interesting thing I've found, is that the only cable that doesn't say "CABLE NOT CONNECTED" and instead says "NO SIGNAL" is the VGA to VGA, and one of the vga's has longer screws than of that of the other side of the wire or on my other gold plated vga's. The one with the long side screws is the only one that has them long enough to screw in and secure, the others don't reach. Is this monitor just special? Can I simply FIX the whole issue by buying a new monitor and buying a HDMI to HDMI cable??
