Thank you

Have you got another monitor to try it on?

Otherwise you can open a ticket in the support forums

Well the monitor is working fine on the computer it's replacing at the moment (using it now) so can't be that or the cable

I've heard of some issues where you had to use the primary monitor output, try switching the adaptor over to the other output?

Huh?

Well I am assuming your graphics card has two outputs -> try the other one.

I am also presuming that the card has two DVI outputs as it is a modern card, hence you have a DVI->VGA adaptor?

Erm I'm running the VGA cable from the monitor into the mobo as I dont have a DVI cable (I'm complete dimbo at this). The desktop was built by OCuk so I have limited knowledge of whats going on in the inside. Do you mean I need a DVI cable?

wait... are there not 2 of these connectors on the back?

otherwise you might be plugging the monitor into a socket that isn't actually activated - hence not working
