Hey guys,

I'm trying to get a computer working for a friend. His problem is that whenever he connects his monitor with a VGA to DVI adapter to his video card (as opposed to the onboard integrated graphics on his motherboard) he gets a "No cable connected" problem displaying on his monitor, which won't even allow me to get to the Bios or anything.

Connecting it to the integrated graphics solves the problem and works perfectly. He has an MSI H61M-P31 (G3) motherboard, an Intel i5 processor, 8gb ddr3 ram and an Aerocool X-Viper 650w PSU. I've tested the video card on another computer with a Corsair 850w psu and a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) mobo and it works perfectly, so its not the card. I can also see that it powers up with the two green lights near the two 6pin sockets and the fans work when I get the "no cable connected" issue.

When I use the bios on the integrated graphics, everything relevant is enabled. We've also tried it with a different VGA/DVI connector and monitor and it didn't work then either. He has told me "once or twice" he's managed to get it working, but not since then. This leads me to believe his PSU is faulty or he needs a better one. I'm no expert though, obviously, so I thought I'd get your collective opinion and let you guys have a crack at it. We appreciate any help you have to offer.

Below I've attached the DXDiag if it helps.

Thanks again.

You can hook up another PSU to it, but I wouldn't think its that. There my be a setting in bios that you can set to force the PCI-E for primary Display or disable the onboard. You can try to reset the cmos, pull the battery out for 30 sec and see if it will use the 660ti.
