So this is an interesting issue.
I am messing around with some old hardware, assembling a computer.
When I have assembled just the barebone (PSU, CPU, GPU and RAM) the monitor receives no signal. I have tested it with 2 monitors now, and it doesn't work.
HOWEVER, and this is the interesting part, it works perfectly fine, when I use my TV as the monitor, regardless of which port I use (HDMI and DVI on the card both work with the TV, neither work with the monitors).
So, this leaves me to conclude that there is a difference in how a monitor and a TV handles input from a GPU. The question is what this difference is, and how I can fix it for the monitors
The following components have been tested in another PC, and have been confirmed to be working:
RAM, GPU, PSU
The CPU and Mobo have worked previously, but I suspect that the problem might be with these components. However, they are working fine, as previously mentioned, when a TV is used as the monitor.
The components are:
CPU: i7
Mobo: Asus P6T SE
GPU: Tried 3 different ones, same error with all 3 (XFX Radeon HD 5770, Asus GTX 285, Asus EAH 5770)
Any suggestions on this one?
