New PC build does not output on monitor

[ChrisR34000]

Hello,

I've built a new PC and connected the onboard graphics card (which has DVI-E, HDMI and VGA output) via VGA to an old Viewsonic monitor which has only a VGA connector. The monitor displays the message: "no signal".

I've connected a Dell monitor via DVI-E and it works fine, so the PC works ok.

Do you have any suggestions?

Hi, Then it might be the cable, or the old monitor. Try testing different cable.

Hi Chris,
The VGA cable could be defective and only work on and off. Make sure there is no dust on the connectors and there's no dust in either port on the Motherboard and monitor. Also make sure none of the gold pins on the VGA cable are bent.
You have said another dell monitor worked with it, so that's one troubleshooting step out of the way. Try using a different cable if you have one. Also, try using the monitor with another source like and Xbox or Playstation to make sure the monitor is not the fault here.
Hope this helps
