Title: no signal to monitor, PLEASE TRY AND HELP!!!!
Post by: helpmewidpc on January 17, 2018, 10:20:28 AM

first of all, this build is meant old and cheap because my challenge was to find the best parts for the cheapest price and my goal was to play borderlands 2 at max, it did btw ;) .

here are my specs:

GPU:AMD radeon hd6450 2gb from sapphire
RAM: 1 stick 4gb samsung
CPU: intel core i3-2130
Motherboard: GA-H61-S3 from gigabyte
PSU: 500w from Trendtech
*the monitor that i am using is an old apple display 17inch*

my issue is that the pc turns on without a beep and all the fans are still running while there is no output to the monitor, the monitor uses dvi-i and only dvi-i but the card has dvi-d.

i have cleaned the ram multiple times, taken out the card and just used the motherboard graphics (don't work), used a different monitor and with HDMI and VGA, checked the cpu, tested the PSU. I really don't know what the problem is. Please help!

@patio im not following, my ram is 1600mhz and my motherboard says "Support for DDR3 1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules" is that an issue?

All RAM is not equal...1600 is just the speed...QVL = lab tested and approved for your MBoard...

What is good...the RAM ? ?
If it's not the RAM and you've tried onboard/ card/ and 3 different connections i suspect the monitor...

Right, I agree. You've checked using the card so ram apparently isn't the issue. Not remembering dvi flavors but I'm thinking dongle... Dvi-i carries analog & digital, dvi-d only digital. Is the monitor known to have ever worked? Can you test the dvi-d out otherwise?
