When I connect my monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236100 with my graphics card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908 with a DVI cable, no signal seems to go through.
However, when I use the same cable and connect it my motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130254), everything seems fine.
I've disabled my motherboard's onboard graphics before connecting to my graphics card, by following these instructions: http://techtips.salon.com/disable-built-in-vga-card-msi-487.html
I've also tried installing the graphics card's drivers, which came in a CD, before connection, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Some photos below, if it helps.
With the DVI cable connected to the motherboard.
Close up of the graphics card ports.
Another close up of the graphics card ports.
The other side of the DVI cable connected to the monitor.
