new desktop rig issue

[James23]

ok guys i just recieved this old dusty desktop rig thats huge as hell so i hooked up all th eparts CD/DVD drives,HDD, Ram 3 Slots, everything hooks up prefectly but asoon i power it on the monitor Displays No Signal error message

It's a AOC LCD Monitor 40"

so here some pics of the part that the monitor hooks up into..

HMMM. A friend just gave me a 17" LCD AOC and I have had issues with it also. If I plug anything new into my surge protector the screen goes out and then I have to do a restart. I also loose power to the monitor when that happens.

From looking at the video card and the specs of the monitor I would hazard a guess that the problem is the monitor is simply waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for the video card to even try to work.

Try this:

Get a "Old" crt monitor. nothing special just a 15" or 17" one, try it and then you should get a working pic.

Yea, sounds like the vid card

the first 3 pictures are useless and have nothing to do with connecting a monitor.

you need a video card with a vga port which the one in the picture has, but it looks very ancient

I'd have to agree with the others from the DIP switches that are visible in the fuzzy video card picture. But it's possible that the BIOS may need to be set to accept the card you have on the PCI bus, if I'm seeing the bus type correctly

ooh ok i just got this as an early xmas gift so mostly most things where stripped i can see but it from my camera phone, so thats the best i can do for now but what type of video card do you guys suggest i should use on the motherbord?

I have NVidia 8800GT, which should be inexpensive now. It's not the latest technology, but is very powerful.

Also check the native resolution on your monitor and see if your new graphic card supports it.

One other thing...

40" Monitor, are you gone berserk? You'll need a graphic card with a lot of RAM in it to work smoothly on this resolutions.

looks like you need an agp video card, but i would not spend a whole lot of money on it.

from your picture it looks like your card is a 3.3v one http://www.playtool.com/pages/vidslots/voltageslots.jpg

i forget if the 1.5v cards are compatible with 3.3v motherboards
