[PLEASE HELP] No Connection To Monitor After Connecting Graphics Card

[MankinMNU]

So about a week ago, I posted a thread of why i cannot connect my graphics card and that was because my PSU was too old, so now I bought a new one and have connected every cable correctly to my motherboard, and all of that, my graphics card is connected too with a 6 pin cable, but when I press the power button to turn my pc on, my monitor says nothing is connected. But my PC is working perfectly and nothing shows up on my screen.

Now I removed the graphics card and my monitor is connected, please help me resolve this!!!!

This time I will have to ask, what is the GPU you bought? Also, what video cable and adapters you used to connect it to monitor?

I purchased the: msi geforce gtx 1050 (gpu)
I use a VGA cable to connect to the monitor

I believe I need a "dvi to vga" cable? So I connect my monitor to the graphics card.

Did you plug the monitor into the graphics card? Not the old port on the motherboard.

The normal cable that I use to connect to my monitor doesn't fit in the graphics card

 

[DRagor]

Normal DVI to VGA cable (or adapter) won't work here, as 1050 outputs only digital signal. What ports your monitor has? Only VGA?

My monitor only have HDMI & VGA

 

[DRagor]

In that case I would advise using HDMI cable.

I have tried connecting a HDMI cable to my graphics card to my monitor, still nothing comes up

 

[DRagor]

Have you set up your monitor to use correct input source (HDMI in this case)?

 

[MankinMNU]

Have you set up your monitor to use correct input source (HDMI in this case)?

Yes I have tried that and still nothing happens, it just says: No connection detected. My monitor is: HP 24ea

 

[DRagor]

What happens if you connect monitor to motherboard without removing GPU - do you get display?

Yes I got display

 

[DRagor]

In that case, it is possible that integrated graphics has priority in BIOS. Reset CMOS and try again with monitor connected to GPU.

 

[Utkarsh Mahajan]

Go to BIOS and disable integrated. Try that

I just went and purchased a VGI to DVG converter and I was trying it out and it still doesn't work, I am so stressed out... And how do I reset CMOS?

 

[MankinMNU]

Go to BIOS and disable integrated. Try that

Thanks for replying, what do I do after I disabled it?

 

[DRagor]

And how do I reset CMOS?

One of the methods is: turn off PC, unplug from power, remove motherboard battery for about minute and put it back.

I have done that and have disabled my intel HD graphics from device manager, and now my screen is all zoomed, what do i do now?

I was also wondering if you have skype or something where we can reply to each other faster? Thank you

 

[DRagor]

After you removed battery, you still don't get display from GPU, and you still get display from motherboard - that means your motherboard does not see that GPU is installed.
Possible causes /solutions:
> card not properly installed - re-seat the GPU
> motherboard slot not working - if your motherboard has more PCIe x16 slots, try moving GPU to another slot.
That brings another question - do you have any other working GPU to test if motherboard slot works (esp if it has only one slot)? Can you check your 1050 in another comp?

It looks like you had the HP PC, if you did. You need to read the article from nvidia support. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3156/~/when-installing-an-after-market-graphics-card-into-a-certified-windows-8-pc following the instruction, you should get the signal for the monitor.

And remember just use the HDMI cable, not the normal DVI to VGA adapter, like DRagor said, the normal one does not work, because it is the passive type, you need the more expensive active adapter. More info for the DVI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface
