Hi. I just finished building a computer and it turns on. However, I tried plugging a digital cable in the computer, but the monitor will not show anything. I don't have vga ports on my motherboard unfortunately. Also, no light shows in my mouse when plugged in the usb port. Any solutions? Please respond as soon as possible. :)

I'm going to use the hdmi port for the motherboard. Actually the usb ports work. I'm going to buy the hdmi cable at a local store. Why doesn't the dvi port in the gtx 970 not recognize the cable? Do I have to install the driver for that gpu? I 'm just curious. But for now, I'm going to stick with the hdmi cable.

My gtx 970 has a dvi port. My BenQ monitor comes with a dvi cable. I put the cable in the 970, but there is no signal. Even if I change the settings in the monitor. I don't have dvi ports in my motherboard except the gpu. There is a couple of hdmi ports though
