Put the graphics card in the top slot but still get same message of "no video input"

jamesy505 · 11 Aug 2011 at 23:49

Monitor is connected into VGA slot

Surveyor · 11 Aug 2011 at 23:53

Try selecting the VGA input using the On Screen Menu.

Just to double check:

Yes, definitely have those two in place

Think you'll have to take a pic mate, that possible?

Surveyor · 12 Aug 2011 at 00:12

Have you tried the VGA connection from the GTX 570 (with an adapter) and the VGA connection from the onboard graphics (the motherboard in post #20).

I assume you don't have a DVI cable anywhere?

No DVI cable. Not sure what you mean with above? I've put Monitor into VGA from post 20 but no joy.

Tried the adapter from via to dvi into the gpu but still nothing

Try taking the graphics card out of the PC and then connect to the VGA from post #20.

With the graphics card in it may be disabling the onboard graphics.

Sorry guys, I'm gonna have to call it a night

Think it's time I took the tower into my IT guy at work.

Thanks for all you're efforts tonigt, genuinely appreciated.

After last two nights makes this pre built towers more appealing

No problem.

I hope you get it sorted.

Keep us posted.

I just had a read through this thread. Just to confirm.

What cable were you using to connect the monitor to the PC. Were you originally hooking the cable upto the graphics cards outputs?

Have you selected the right source on the monitor. Same as TV's if it's on Scart 1 and your trying to watch SKYHD on HDMI 1 it wont display anything???

Is there an internal speaker on the motherboard? Do you get any post beeps? Can't believe no one has asked this before now.
