Monitor problem

[Jimbo]

Hi

My new PSU arrived today so i decided to install that up, so i plugged all the cables into there right places, pci-e sata atx etc

but when its turned on my monitor gives me the whole no signal check signal cable dianostic, so when i did that, I made sure it was properly plugged in and it is. and no matter what dvi port i put it into it i have the same problem.

It's being plugged into a Geforce 8800GTX, Ive even tried it using a different monitor and that gives the same error.


Excuse the spelling etc, im on a laptop!

Hi,

Have you gave your graphics card power?

Thanks

[Jimbo]

Yeah, its got the two PCI-E Cables going into it, and I can feel the fan blowing air around.

1. What PSU is it; and
2. Did you reseat the graphics card?

[Jimbo]

It a OCZ 700W SLI Ready GameXStream.

Reseat? Not that I knw if, if you mean unplug it and then plug it back in again?

[Micky007]

Thats the PSU i have in my pc and i have the Gainward 8800GTX and mine works fine.

[Jimbo]

Well I'll try reseating it and see if that works.

The PSU is more than good enough then :)

Just wondering if, in the unplugging and replugging of cables into the 8800, it's come a little unseated from it's slot.

[Jimbo]

still the same problem

@Micky did you use the two PCI-E cables to power it or your card come with other cables you can lug into it?

[Jimbo]

Got it working, theres two cables that look so alike, and when I plugged one of them in (Its the one that's attack to same ATX cable, the 24 pin or 20, not sure, it wouldnt power up but i found another one and plugged that in and its all good.


It sbeen a long day! :roll:
