Computer not displaying anything on monitor
Options
I just built my first computer and it turns on but the display is not showing anything. Why and how can I fix it.

Does the system emit any beep codes or any indication there is a problem? Does this system have a dedicated or on-board graphics option? If the motherboard has on-board graphics but you are using a dedicated video card maybe double-check where the monitor is plugged in. If it's not working in one port, you may want to try another.

Hello ncolozzi - Could you give us the specs of your system and possible a photo of the cables/connections on the back of your build?
