1) Without a graphics card installed, you shouldn't see anything as the display would need to be plugged into the motherboard outputs and your motherboard/CPU do not have on-board graphics.
2) If your display is connected to the output of the graphics card and you're experiencing this issue:
a. Try reinstalling the graphic card drivers if possible.
b. Try reseating the graphics card, making sure there is no dust in the PCI-Ex16 expansion slot.
c. Try using a different output of the graphics card.
d. Try using a different input on the display (forgot to ask what model display you have).
I'd suspect it's either a dying graphics card or a dying display. The monitor is a
HKC 2476AH LED TN 23.6'' Widescreen Monitor and is brand new.
