HELP ME by smiler_as2005-12-19 06:21:41
  Check the following: by peired 2005-12-19 07:22:34
1. Is the cable from the monitor to the PC secure? Are you sure? (Screw it in, don't just plug it)

2. Is there an onboard Video connection on the mobo? If so, try that one, Windows can be snarky sometimes and will try to use the mobo connection. Check the BIOS and ensure it is disabled (if possible) If not, boot up with the mobo connector, you will likely need to switch the plug to the other connector the moment you log into windows. (BIOS uses onboard first time around, Windows will default to the AGP/PCI-E one at login, once is usually enough to get the BIOS to realize you don't wanna use the mobo connection.)

3. Did you try a different monitor on that PC? I see you tried the components in a different PC, but did you do the reverse?

HTH
