About 1 month ago, I built a gaming PC and it worked fine. About a week in to using my new PC, I was playing BF3 and it randomly shuts off. Pressing the power button didn't do anything. I realized it was probably a surge because I wasn't using a surge protector (I know, I'm an idiot). I sent in the motherboard with a warranty and they gave me a new one because they said they tested it and it didn't work. I rebuilt the PC and it still doesn't turn on. I went and bought a new PSU and rebuilt the PC for a second time and all the fans worked and everything.
I was so relieved that I would finally get to play on my PC again, so I plugged in the monitor to the PC and it gives that message. :/
It gives a black screen with that message and I can't view the BIOS, Windows, or anything. I know my PC detects it because when it's not plugged in, the monitor gives the message: "Cable not detected", but when I plug it in, it gives the message: "Signal not detected".
I tried:
-Turning it off an on.
-Reseting CMOS
-Unplugging and plugging in all the related cords
-Using a different wall socket and surge protector
-Taking out each stick of RAM at a time
-Putting the RAM into different sockets
-Unplugging the main monitor and plugging in an older, backup monitor
-Tried VGA, DVI, and DVI-D
-Plugging the monitor into both slots in the video card
-Plugging the monitor into the motherboard slot
-Booting up with only the essentials (CPU, PSU, MB, and RAM)
-Putting the CPU and the RAM into another PC and it worked fine in that
My specs are:
-Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core
-CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
-Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150
-RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
-Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
-Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Superclocked ACX
-Case: Corsair 300R ATX Mid Tower
-Power Supply: Rosewill Hive 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX
-Monitor 1: BenQ GW2255 60Hz 21.5" Monitor
-Monitor 2: I don't know the exact model, but it's an older monitor made by ACER. It takes VGA only
I know this is posted a lot, but all the other threads didn't help me find the answer I was looking for.
Also, sorry for the wall of text, I tried to give as much information as I could.
