I have a new VGA adaptor monitor. I plug the monitor in the back of a HP Pavilion Slimline. Suddenly, the monitor won't repsond and load up the material. I took the monitor out and plugged it into another PC and it worked fine. However, when I plugged another monitor in the same VGA on the Slimline and it does not work. The VGA port on the computer is located on the motherboard. It is not on a separate video card. I concluded to buy a video card and install into PC. Is that the correct assessment of the problem?

Welcome to the forums!

Clear the bios first.
Is the power supply working?
Do you hear the fans and hard drives spinning?
