cant connect to monitor

[COTG]

Hey guys,

I have a few concerns about my recent build that i did.

I just finished building it today and when I went to turn it on while everything seemed to be fine I was not able to get any signal on my monitor, a rog swift pg278qr. It constantly kept telling me that there was no Hdmi input, even though I had already connected my hdmi cable from the pc to the monitor.

Afterwards I took out the hdmi cable from my pc and put it into my laptop, and I was able to connect to the monitor that way, however not with my computer.

Does anybody know a possible reason for why I would not be able to get hdmi signals from my computer, such as maybe forgetting to plug something in etc.

I will attach some pictures of everything tomorrow, but I would still love to hear if any of you guys encountered similar issues and how you fixed them

were you plugging it into the motherboard or the gpu if you have a gpu you have to plug into the gpu for video

I don't think hdmi can even project 144p 165 hz

 

 

try dvi or DisplayPort

if i plug in my hdmi into my gpu it still says no signal.

is there any other cable I have to connect to my monitor besides the hdmi cable which is linked to the graphics card in order to get a picutre?
