Where are you plugging in the monitor cord?

Also, does it POST?

In the back of my computer.

Also what is POST?

Are you plugging it into the motherboard or your graphics card? If you have a dedicated graphics card then you need to plug it into that.

POST is Power On Self Test. When you turn your computer on it should beep once. Does yours?

I'm plugging it into my motherboard. I'll try connecting to the graphics card and i can't hear a beep, but thats probably because my motherboard doesn't have a microphone
