Hi I need help I'm freaking out. Monitor keeps telling me no signal. I keep playing around with the HDMI cables but no good.
My specs are R5 1500x 8gb rx580 8gb.
This morning I turned it on i saw blurry (reddish pink squares and lines) startup screen then monitor went back to no signal. Is this a cable issue or has my video card died?
I don't think I have onboard video. Ryzen 1500x doesn't come with it.
Connect your PC to your TV and if that works then your monitor is cactus.
If not then the video card is.
Cheers
I just plugged my PC to the TV. It works. Guess I'm chucking my LG Ultrawide monitor in the bin!
I was gonna go down the road to my local MSY shop to throw the video card in the guy's face, you saved me from doing that :)
Thanks for your advice man much appreciated.
Do you have a digital TV set top box to test the monitor? Maybe borrow one from someone.
Let me know which bin you throw it into!
Seriously though, did you use the same cable to connect to the TV? If it's the same cable, it could be a dodgy cable.
Used the same cable and it worked on the 50 inch Bauhn FHD TV that i had in the spare room. the resolution on that tv is so shit but it'll be okay until I get a new monitor.
@alz: make sure your monitor isn't on HDMI or something when it's supposed to be on displayport, dvi etc.
Did you try turning it off and on again?
Jokes aside, my good old asus vg248qe wouldn't detect a DVI signal from my PC and unplugging it for a moment or two wasn't enough (to power cycle).
Googled and sure enough I still had to power cycle my monitor, this time completely by making sure the LED in the power button completely discharged (by watching it dim and completely turn off).
Gfx card could be loose. Try opening the case see if the card is sitting in the motherboard properly.
Is your monitor on the wrong source or input by any chance?
possibly
if you can try to remove video card and see if display works in onboard video card
