Hi,
I have an old HP computer, an HP a6230n, or something like that. It has crappy integrated nVidia graphics. I changed the PSU to a Corsair HX650, plugged everything, all the fans are spinning, but it says no display.
The card that I put in is a Gigabyte HD 6850. I plugged in the 6-pin connector, the fans spin, but I power on my monitor and it says "no input detected".
What I think the problem is, is that the monitor would pug into the motherboard, not the integrated graphics. The cable, which I think is a DVI-A connector, obviously does not fit into the GPU's VGA connector (I think?)
Is that the problem or is it broken? It was a used card from a friend, and it did work before, and I'm 99.9% sure that I installed it correctly.
The question is, do I need a DVI-A-to-VGA adapter to get the monitor working? I can't do anything in the BIOS, obviously, because I cannot power on my monitor.
Thanks.
