Monitor Help HDMI no signal

[slickman130]

Hi i built my first PC and everything seems ok until i tried to connect it to a monitor.
I built Austin evans Photon
I am using a ASUS VS247H monitor and a A78M-E25 motherboard with a R7 260x (i believe) i connected my HDMI cable to my Monitor also into my GPU. it says HDMI no signal i also tried VGA and the other one it starts with a D i believe... I am not familiar with VGA or the other one so can someome give me instructions on how to connect my PC to my monitor? do i also need to connect the VGA while connecting HDMI? do i need to connect HDMI from my motherboard into my Monitor ect... I really need help guys Thanks in advance

Ive tried both but yes i have put it in the GPU to the Monitor and it still didnt work

When you have a graphics card in the computer the video connectors on the mb will not work .

Try connecting to the graphics card with a DVI or VGA cable

The white connector is a DVI port .

Your monitor has the same connector so use DVI .

HDMI can need some set up in the video driver and if you cant see whats on screen you cant install windows and then install the driver

So i connect the DVI port from the GPU to the monitor and when its all set up i add the drivers and HDMI should work?

It sounds like it's time to perform every step in our troubleshooting checklist in the stickies section at the top of the forum. It was created for this type of problem and should help you figure out what's causing the problem. There's also a link to the checklist in my signature.

Everything obviously doesn't work if you're not getting a signal. It could be anything from the checklist causing the problem.
