Have you tried connecting the monitor to your motherboard? You do not need a dedicated GPU if you can use the on-board grpahics.

This would allow you to get into the BIOS and poke around and change settings accordingly. You could also get into Windows access the Nvidia control panel, MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision, the Windows control panel, etc which may provide you with some answers.

Make sure you have all the correct drivers, all your PSU connections are nice and tight, and that your GPU is inserted firmly in the best PCI-E slot. If you have multiple slots then try a different one.

If you have a problem, don't use another person's thread to ask. We help out people more efficiently if there are threads for individual problems, as we need to know more about their system. Here we are trying to resolve another issue, and this is not the place to ask for help. If you need help, start a question thread.

No need to hijack this thread with your own, unrelated problems/questions.

To the OP, how is your monitor connected?
