Monitor desplays "VGA no signal" help

Sid2000 · Jul 15, 2016

I am building a gaming pc and when i finished i plugged it into my asus monitor and on the first try it booted successfully and showed up with the uefi. On the uefi it said there was 4gb memory but i had installed 8gb so i turned off the system and took out both the sticks and replaced them both in the same spot (2nd and 4th). When i turned on the pc and monitor, the monitor displayed "DVI no signal" and shut off. I tried everything, checked all the plugs and tried switching the ram in different spots but it kept saying "DVI no signal". There is also this red led that lights up "memOK". Do you guys think this is a ram issue, motherboard issue or something else? I was able to reach uefi but then this happened. I'll deeply appreciate it if you could help me

Probably a motherboard issue. Try replacing the sticks again, make sure you have everything hooked up correctly on the board

I just ordered another pair or ram sticks and i'll see if it solves the issue, otherwise changing the mobo should be it right? everything else powers on like all the fans so i don't think the psu can be the problem

yup.
Make sure when holding ram sticks, hold them very carefully and gently. They're not as sensitive as CPU's, but still are sensitive either way

Yea i think that was a the problem, i was going way too rough with it, it might have broken the dimm slots

Yeah, just wait until your new sticks come in and see if it boots up. If you still continue to have the problems, return the sticks if you think its not the problem and report back here, good luck!

is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013H7Q86C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 compatible with Asus z170-ar motherboard?

Should work just fine. All RAM sticks should work for all motherboards. Besides, it says "Compatible" if you look at the bottom near the prices and stuff. It should be compatible

My case fans stopped working now, everything else runs fine like the cpu fan and graphics card fans.

Alright, must be a bad board then as well, are you sure it's plugged in good?

ChaoticWolf :

Im getting a replacement for mobo, cpu, and ram. I will be super sad if it is my gpu or psu acting up

ChaoticWolf · Jul 16, 2016

That would suck. You pretty much would have to replace almost every component for your computer. Cross your fingers that it's a board. If it then works, request for your money back for all the items you didn't need
