Monitor help with 8800gtx

[Jimbo73]

I have a samsung 940BX monitor, and I just built a new gaming computer. When I plug the monitor in, it says to check signal cable...I don't know what to do..

i have
e6600
850 psu
8800gtx

everything is powered

this guy seems to be having the same problem as me, and he found a solution ( read his later post in thread ) but i dont know what hes talking about when he says 2 wires that look alike.

If your power supply is modular there will be specially designated PCI-E ports on the power supply, these are normally differently coloured.

Check your power supply's manual to ensure that you have plugged the modular cables into their correct ports.

If your power supply is not modular something is faulty - provided that you have plugged everything in correctly.
