Hello i got my new system today which is
E6300 C2D
Biostar 965PT Mobo
1 GB DDR2-800 G.Skill RAM
7900GS Vid Card
450w Rosewill PSU
250GB SATA HDD
IThe mobo i have doesnt have onboard video so i hooked my monitor up straight to the 7900GS via VGA->DVI adaptor.
My monitor wont boot up. Everything else does though, my CPU Fan, case fans, Vid card fan spins. Lights up and everything. The thing is my monitor wont boot. I made sure my card was as snug as possible and that the PCI-E power cable was in as well as my VGA->DVI adaptor really snug. Yet when i turn it on black screen, like my monitor isnt even connected.
I dont think think this has anything to do with it but anyway i have a cable that i have no idea where it goes. Its a little 2x1 white connector that came with my Xion-Xon102 Case. It is a little twisted red and black wire. My "Xion" light on my case isnt lite at the top so i think thats what it may be. Any way, where would this go.
Either way I need to get my monitor hooked up, am i doing something wrong? Ive never built my own computer so ive never had a mobo w/o onboard video. I do just insert the monitor into my Vid card right the first boot? Before i even installl windows?
Please help if you could
Also i noticed when i start up my computer, each time the fans all start up and stuff then it shuts off. If i start it back up it stays on. Could this have anything to do with it?
