Is the monitor plugged into the wrong port on the computer?

Sometimes there will be several (motherboard and separate GPU) with only one actually displaying anything.

You may need an adapter to switch a DVI to VGA (depending on monitor) or different type of cable (VGA or DVI or displayport or HDMI)
