The title says it all pretty much. I just finished upgrading my pc with a new psu and gpu, everything is wired up and running, but my monitor wont turn on. I think might be the connection cord (ive got a dvi connector with my gou, but because i dont have a dvi cable, im using a gva cable which is connected to my motherboard instead). I was told that i could connect the screen to the motherboard and have it work, but that seems to not be the case, am i correct?
also, my new gpu gets the fan spinning for about 3 seconds, stops, and 5 seconds later starts again for 3 seconds, stops and 5 seconds later starts again. Is that normal?
