Problems connecting to monitor...

tenox · 07-19-2005, 06:13 PM

Hi !
I newly bought all new parts to set up a new computer. When i was finnished i could not get a picture on my monitor. I checked out with another monitor, but that didnt work either. It is extremly frustrating, because i have never been into this problem before. Do anyone know what the problem might be??
Thanx

Steffen

what video card are you trying to use... check to make sure its pushed in all the way bc with agp if you dont push till the lock clicks it looks like its in but its not hehe. then you would be getting no video

I'd lean towards a defective or improperly installed graphics card (unless you're using an onboard one) but that's just a guess. If you could post a list of what parts you've got it would be a lot easier to tell what's wrong. Read Questions 101, it will tell you exactly what info you need to post.
