Heya. I have the exact ( almost) with diff graphic card and diff memory brand.
My problem however, is VGA cable has an output , but both DVI dont. Is it the same problem? Everything else is identical

Well the original problem in this thread seems to have been that the 12V_ATX CPU connection was not installed. Is yours?

If it is then my next guess would be a graphics card problem, are all the power connections installed?

Would you be able to tell us your full spec so we can help you further?

What PSU are you using?

Has the system ever worked properly through the DVI port?

Also, when running through the VGA port, is everything fine? Can you run GPU and CPU stress tests (like furmark and OCCT) without any problems?

Also, do you have a spare PCIe graphics card you can put in your system (so you can eliminate the chance of being a problem with something else in your system) or even better, can you try the GTX 460 in a another machine?

Finally, when connected via DVI do you see the BIOS messages when the system first boots up, or is it always off? What monitor are you using out of interest?

I havent booted Windows, Ive tried to build the pc with a technician m8 of mine, he suggested testing outputs, on his old monitor ( which had a vga-dvi converter) , there was no output in dvi, but a black screen with hard drive error ( software hasnt been installed yet) did show up.

On his pc, it works with both vga and vga-dvi converter.

Also, do you have a spare PCIe graphics card you can put in your system (so you can eliminate the chance of being a problem with something else in your system) or even better, can you try the GTX 460 in a another machine?

If it works through the VGA port to another monitor - I suggest you use that in the short term so you can install windows. From there you will be able to do a lot more dignostic work to get to the bottom of the issue.

One thing that may be useful would be a photo of the motherboard connections. If there is an issue with connections it will be much easier to find and point out than asking you to go through a massive checklist.

Do you have any monitors with a pure DVI connection to test? (ie ones with the DVI built in, not a converter)
 
I dont have a dvi monitor, dont even have the converter at my house :< . Gonna go ahead n install windows on my bros vga monitor and upload some photos soon ( hopefully clear enough).
 
That all looks fine, certainly nothing stands out that could cause major issues (though you may want to connect your front panel audio to your sound card, not motherboard :)).

Can I just confirm what your problem is again?

-You have a GTX 460 graphics card (which has two DVI ports, 1 VGA port and 1 HDMI port).
- You only have VGA monitors
- A signal appears on the monitor when the a VGA cable connects directly between the VGA monitor port and VGA graphics port.
- When using a DVI to VGA converter on the graphics card, no signal appears on the monitor.

Is what I state above an accurate summation of your problem?
 
yes
atm yes- buying my new hdmi/dvi one tomorrow
yes
yes
i also removed my gfx and put it in my m8s pc , which was connected to a different vga monitor . display worked on both VGA and DVI - VGA
 
Ah, ok -cool.

What adapter were you using and where was it connected (on the graphics card or the monitor)? Also, was this the same adapter you used with your friends monitor and worked?

Out of interest, what DVI/HDMI monitor are you going for?

Maybe i misunderstood ur question:
VGA cable, connected on VGA monitor, and on the DVI port on the graphic card? The brand of the cable is unknown to me.
but i'll get to meet my mate and work on some tests before noon tomorrow.

Monitors:
Either:

or

this one has no dvi, just hdmi

Aye, that's the way to connect it.

What is the DVI to VGA adapter that you are using? AFAIK that card didn't come with one. Also, when you got it working via DVI on your friends PC, were you using the same adapter as the one that failed to work before?

I had a look at those monitors. They seem fine: TN LCD monitors with LED backlights. I woudl strongly suggest going for the Samsung over the LG as their LED backlighting is much better implemented.

Out of interest, how much are you planning to spend on a monitor and what do you plan to do with it? I may be able to recommend you something better.

I should've made myself more clear :P

I dont really know, my m8 works at a pc shop so he got these tools/accessories. I can confirm the VGA - DVI adapter were the same ones used, but the VGA cable from the monitors were not.

Its unfortunate, that I am currently staying in a country that has no variety. Unlike the UK the brands here are limited to samsung, asus and lg.

The samsung here costs around 155£ , and in terms of choice i am limited between these 2 and a 24 inch samsung lcd . The rest are crap.

Had i been in UK atm, i'd have paid 250£ and gone for the Acer 3d 120hz gaming monitor .
 
Update: My mates research claims the pre overclocking may have caused the issue. Could that be the case? And wont it void my warranty if i reset it , and make it slower :<

Btw, havent had the chance to say Thanks for all the help ! I'll update you if it does get repaired by tomorrow noon!
 
Ah, then I would say go for the samsung then - they are pretty good.

Do you have the system working now (windows installed) through the VGA connection?

The pre-overclocking isn't actiuve until you press F12 in the BIOS and activate the profile - so I would be surprised if that is the issue.
 
1. Nah, my bro says he 'needs' his pc. he's playing wow and says he needs an hours time . Guess I'll leave it till tomorrow morning

2. It may have been activated, i think. ive seen the screen 'overclock' , last good config , while we were changing between vga/dvi. on the plus side, i could reset then use the saved overclock profile , if nothing else works. Or i may just use hdmi cables instead of dvi.
 
That is a shame, but I guess he has his priorities straight :D

One thing I would absolutely make sure of when you get your monitor is that it does either come with a HDMI or DVI cable. Often they just sell the monitor with a VGA cable or no cable at all. You don't need to splash-out on a DVI/HDMI cable if you don't get one in the package - any £5 one should be fine.
 
Hey

I tested it on an LCD monitor and the DVI worked. Got a new problem though

' The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes of voltages. Last setting in this page may not coincide with current H/W states. Press any key to continue'

Didnt want to risk it so pressed nothing

Any ideas :S
