[QUOTE="Sevenup, post: 618431, member: 13646"] I purchased a new computer last week and unfortunately the monitor I got to go with it is not working with the computer. Maybe I don't understand all this correctly. I believe the monitor I got is too high of a resolution for the maximum output of the graphics card. Graphics and resolution have changed a lot in the last 10+ years since I stopped tinkering, repairing, and upgrading computers for people. That or possibly my cable is bad? I'd love to know what you would do next.. Do I try and replace cable, or get a different monitor and cable with direct DVI? I get power to the monitor but no connection from the computer to the monitor. I did go in and change my monitor from HDMI to Display Port for the connection. I also made sure the new computers drivers were utd. Here is the computer, monitor, and cable I got to connect.
