Hi Guys,
my screen won't display anything. I have checked the monitor an cable and have tried a new graphics card. The motherboard is new so it should work fine. The Pc powers up (fans etc come on). What could it be?

im thinking either the monitor itself is broken
or
you're drivers are wrong/out of date


have you tried with another monitor?

 

[natkay2603]

yes i have checked the monitor on another PC. i don't think it is the drivers because it won't even display the BIOS.

if you press the menu button, does it disply that?

 

[PimpPanther]

i didnt say check the monitor on another pc

i said check your pc with another monitor

see if the computer wont work with any monitor(i assume youre using another computer to be on here)

 

[natkay2603]

Oh right sorry. Ok i have now tried another monitor and that doesn't work either.

Yes the menu button works.

so your monitor is not your problem

have you installed any new graphics card?
if your running the montior through a new card, its entirley possible that the card isnt fit in properly(guess why i know that)


if another monitor doesnt work, chances are something is physically wrong with the comp

Does the new motherboard have integrated graphics?

 

[natkay2603]

yes it has intergrated graphics, but i have also tried a graphics card. neither work.

The Onboard won't work whilst a Video Card is installed.

As the Monitor displays the Menu, I'd say the Card is faulty, but remove it, then try your Onboard.

 

[natkay2603]

I have already tried the onboard without the new card installed. the onboard does't work either.

does anyone have any ideas? could it be a faulty motherboard or processor?
