Could a power supply be causing the display not to show?

Hi all,

I have PC that wont output to the display. It appeared to have power but nothing would display. I did the usually test to narrow down the problem but still couldn't work out why the display would output. In the end I bought a new motherboard bundle and I have the same problem. The only original item is the power supply.

If I power it on the fans spin up and it sits running but nothing is ever outputted to the display. I know the monitor is working fine.

could be, normally get a beeping message from the GPU to tell you though, have you tried the GPU in another computer just incase its that??

What power supply is it? Definitely sounds like the culprit, unless the GPU is the same.

Could be the power supply, but it could also be a dodgy cable. Have you tried connecting another computer to the monitor? or the same PC to a different monitor?
