Monitor Broken

[Gator]

I uesd my old motherboard and everything worked the monitor was fine and what not and the video card is fine. Which is now why I just can't figure our whats wrong with it. I have no idea and cannot think of anything. Obviously the monitor isn't borken but I need some serious help here guys lol. I'm wondering if maybe its cause its not an intel board and its an AMD board now.

 

Its appears to be a issue with your motherboard then.

The motherboard I'm using is brand new and I've yet to use it. Today was going to be the first day...I've only had it since last week and just turned the machine on with the new motherboard today.

chances are you broke something you couldnt even find the sata power cable from your psu

 

 

go through the manuel and make sure everything is connected and is tight fitting, seems to me its your gpu if your monitor isnt turning on

First things first, we need to check if your monitor is broke. Unplug all cables from the monitor, (Including power) then ONLY plug the power back in. Turn the monitor on and see if colour checks come up (Or the blue light)

 

If not, could be an issue with the monitor it's self, or the power connector. If the colour checks appear, then it's either the cable (VGA One) or the GPU it's self.

 

Next, try a different cable (Just buy one online or go to a local comp shop, will cost a lot more from a shop though) If it's still not working then you probably have a faulty GPU, if you have a warranty, which you should, then just get a replacement.

 

EDIT:

What Graphics Card are you using by the way? Also, are you using the same Hard Drive, or a new one?

 

One more thing, is it the same GPU from the old computer, or a new one? I know I've probably contridicted my self with my above sentane, just answer the questions like they were the first.

I know its not the monitor because when I used my old Intel board it was working with both DVI and VGA wires and he blue light goes on.

 

I used both the inputs on the gfx card and the inputs from the onboard gfx.

 

Im using a NVIDIA GT 240 and there is no warranty on it anymore. Right now I'm using the same hard drive but at one point just for shits and giggles i used a brand new hard drive I ordered and the nothing appeared on the screen. Idk if its just me but I'm almost positive even wihout a hard drive the BIOS should show up.

 

And yes it is the same GPU from my old pc. I'm wondering if its because I switched from Intel to AMD. At this point I'm running out of explanations lol

I had quite a few ideas of why it wasn't working, but now I'm stumped... I don't see how swapping from an Intel mobo to AMD should make any difference... The only thing that could be at fault is the motherboard... Are you able to get a replacement?

[kabLe]

I probably can, first I'm gonna see if my step dad can do anything cause hes like a pc engineer or some shit like that but if he can't fix it I have no choice but to either send it back to newegg or look for another board lol..

[Twinz]

Wouldn't it have something to do with your video card if the monitor isn't connecting?

[Tweezy]

Are you able to try the graphics card in another computer?

[kabLe]

Well, my graphics card is working and what not. However, I've come to the conclusion that the motherboard short-circuited.
