Hi there!
I recently had a friend help me build a new PC. To start off with, these are the components:
Intel core i5 4670K 3.4GHz 6MB box
Corsair DDR3 Pc1600 16GB CL9 vengeance (4*4 ramstiks)
SEAGATE desktop 7200 2TB HDD 7200rpm SAT
INTEL SSD 335 180 GB SATA6 500/450 R/W
MSI Geforce GTX760 OC Hawk 2GB
Corsair CS series 650W CS650m 80+ Gold
Asus Z87-pro ATX USB3 SATA6 WiFi
SAMSUNG DVDRW - SH-224BB
We build it last friday at his place, and I spent the weekend playing WoW, LoL etc on it - everything was working smoothly.
As I only had a horribly old monitor myself (been using a laptop the past few years), I ordered a new one and took the PC home and awaited the monitors arrival. I got it earlier today (about a week after we build the PC).
Only, there's one *MAJOR* issue - my pc seems to be able to boot just fine (I get a start-beep, I get the fans spinning, lights turn on in it etc), HOWEVER, it will *not* recognise any form of monitor. This is what I have tried:
Plugged Monitor to PC with DVI.
Plugged Monitor to PC with VGA.
Plugged Monitor to PC with HDMI.
Plugged TV to PC with HDMI.
Plugged old monitor to PC with VGA.
*nothing* produced results.
I then tried my monitors and my TV with my trusty old laptop. They work flawlessly.
This means that it has to be something that's wrong with my "less-than-a-week-old, brand new desktop"-pc. And I have absolutely no clue what it can be. I've opened and had a look around, and nothing in there seems to be loose or "broken", from what my untrained eyes can see. Hopefully, someone has an idea of what it could be and can help me out.
Thanks in advance!
