Connectivity card from montior to CPU is different than other PCs, in back side of the monitor its showing to type VGA and other one DVi connector, In my CPU i dont have the slot for the DVi connector, where will i get the normal (vga) connection card. and whats that DVi connector means

no PC just pavillion stated the case sides sticker HP clearly answer this question, called a service tag
the desktop makes fan sounds, turned on, does it?
2 fans or more, PSU and CPU

monitor tests good , and is not a bad vga cable, proved.
PC (unstated ) bad ok
if PC is bad, and monitor is turned on first
the monitor will show "no signal" or cables not connected or no sync)
(hint, monitor on first, count to 10 turn on PC last)

so test the PC ,oK, it is not hard,.

step 1, do both both fans spin and actually blow air
3 fans or more, with nicer video card with fan.
fan 1 , PSU
fan 2, CPU
fan3, GPU and even case fans exist,
12 steps, #1 is hard power reset.

last of after all is bad motherboard if VGA jack THERE is dead.
i bet it is not a bad mobo, ok.....
if you see 2 VGA jacks on rear of PC or DVI
only one will work, the one on the PCI VGA slot will be active only,so do not use the wrong JACK,]
oK?
I cant see your PC or guess which of vast models made this is, at all.
no monitor stated
no cable types stated,VGA/DVI/HDMI/DP????WHAT/?
NO PC STATED, LIKE PAVILION A6200 SERIES (OLD)

why post lacking PC model.?
huge # of models, must be guess and guess wrong?
good luck, finding it , the tests are very easy,ask how.

The problem could be in the adapter to the video card. There are different types of DVI connections. If the adapter does not have the proper set of pins then the card will not recognize that a monitor is connected at that port. Monitors themselves have no bearing on whether a single or dual monitor set up will work or not. Digital Visual Interface Follow this link, it may help you determine if the adapter you are using is correct for the graphics card.

You need to explain your actual problem. What operating system, graphics card, PC, resolution required, monitor model number, connector type being used (VGA, DVI, HDMI) etc.
Monitors don't usually require drivers to work. Drivers for your graphics card may affect operation or you may be using the wrong lead/connector/interface.

This PC has a VGA and a DVI ports? Are both ports on the motherboard or a Video card? Or is the VGA onboard video and DVI is a Video card? You may have to disable the DVI port to get Video to vga or enable the vga port.

You should go for a Widescreen LCD ro LED monitor. They all support VGA and DVI. If you get a Full HD screen then it will have a HDMI connection also. Just make sure your Display card can handle it.

Is the monitor DVI + VGA? blue and white ports (2)?

If so, you may need to hit the source button to switch sources. This can happen rarely.

Another option is to try a different monitor to verify that it is indeed your monitor that is broken.

Good luck! :)

Hi,

I believe you are referring to a DVi connector. We have different types of connectors but none of them is DFi. We have VGA, HDMI, SATA, and DVi connectors. Here's a cheklist of what you need to do:

1. Check the connector of the computer whether you have VGA, HDMI, SATA, or DVi
2. Check the connector of the monitor whether you have VGA, HDMI, SATA, or DVi
3. Now that you know the type of connectors you have for your system, you know what cable to buy.

It does not really matter if your computer and monitor have different connectors. We can purchase cables with VGA - VGA, HDMI - HDMI, DVi - DVi, VGA - HDMI, VGA - DVi, HDMI - DVi. So, don't worry and thank you for choosing FixYa!

Hello ghinea18, sorry you can't do that because this will cause hardware conflict, that's why motherboard bios automatically disable integrated graphics if you install video card using pci express x16 slot - Nvidia GeForce 7300SE. do you know if your video card has dual vga or dual dvi connection?

You can try dual display, im not sure if this card supports dual monitors because nvidia online specs does not show full specs on 7300se series. \

Good Luck!

Most of the Widescreen monitors come with DVI as well as VGA connector. A VGA connector and DVI connectors are different in many aspects. First of all the DVI connector would be white in color and VGA would be blue.
VGA connector has 15 pins and DVI has 24 +1 pin

There are different reasons why this might happen. Let's try some. 1.) Does your board have an onboard video card, cause if it does, then XP might be using that as the primary monitor. TRy plugging into the onboard video when you start up! If that works then you need to disable the onboard video.(try disabling it in bios!) if not then 2.)When booting at the select xp or recovery console, press F8. You'll get the menu with safe mode and what not. Go down to Enable VGA Mode then press enter. If that works, go to display settings and lower your resolution then restart. But usually when this happens your monitor says "Out of Range" but u can still try Well if that doesn't work, tell me more! Regards, Armando
