Hello everyone.
I built this system earlier on today:
XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad-Crossfire PCI-E 750W Power Supply
AMD Phenom II X2 Dual Core 550 3.10GHz Black Edition (Socket AM3) - Retail
Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM
(WD6401AALS)
OCZ Platinum 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel (OCZ3P13334GK)
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black (No PSU)
Sony Optiarc AD-7201S 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter
(Black) - OEM
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro PWM CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2)
It all appears to be working fine, powers up, LEDs are on etc etc, however i am having problems with my monitor. My monitor is an 20" LG (not sure of the exact model, think it's a monitor/TV, might be able to find out), and it keeps going straight to standby mode when the computer is powered up.
The cable i had been using with my old computer didn't fit the ports on my new graphics card, so i managed to find one which did fit which came with my monitor when i bought it a couple of years ago. The lead fits into the DVI port on the back of my monitor and i had to switch to DVI input to get any signal at all (just goes straight to standby mode).
Could this just be that i need a new cable, or a cable adaptor, or is it something more serious like a graphics card problem?
All replies are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Doug.
P.S. Sorry for the vague and kinda jumbled post, very tired
