Posted April 14, 2021 Hello, so I just recently build my first PC. Before I had an old laptop connected to monitor via vga (monitor) to hdmi adapter (laptop and the adapter is an active one). Everything worked just fine but now that i have new PC (b450m steel legend, R3 3100, 5500XT) my monitor doesnt output anything. When I plug my monitor with the same adapter to the PC (it is plugged to the graphics card and not the motherboard) my graphics fans ramp up to the max and nothing happens. If i connect my PC with just the HDMI cable to the TV it works as it should. So I connected it to the TV updated all the drivers but when I plug it to the VGA monitor again it doesn’t work. Its weird because graphics fans should not spin unless graphics is under heavy load. I would be glad if somebody could help me with this. Kind regards.

Posted April 15, 2021 Some type of compatibility issue with resolution would be my guess. I would recommend a new monitor at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After issue I did get new monitor with hdmi and it works fine but I wanted to use my old monitor as an secondary display. So I would be really happy if there is any solution to this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
