Unable to get Dell Precision T5500 to post on my Dell 1912H monitor :(

Hello everyone,

 

I'm stuck in quite a weird situation here. I can't get my Dell Precision T5500 to post on my Dell 1912H monitor

 

Here's the workstation specs

• Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5606 2.13GHz
• 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 RDIMM Memory , 1333MHz, ECC
• 250GB SATA (7200RPM) Hard Disk Drive
• 1 GB NVIDIA Quadro 2000

I am connecting my PC to monitor via display port/VGA adaptor to VGA port (monitor end).

 

The issue being ,PC is displaying bios in other monitors but not the one that I have. I tried LG monitor and other Dell monitor and the PC showed up the BIOS in them.

 

What I've tried so far

• Resetting bios
• Changing CMOS battery
• Reinstalling RAM
• Reinstalling Graphics card
• Even tried DVI port

This PC also have what Dell calls Diagnostic light codes. In my case I have the 1, 2, 3 numbers lit up which as per Dell's service guide means the following

I have no idea what it means by "indicates routine system activity subsequent to video initialization".

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I think this by definition means the system is operating normally, just that the monitor isn't displaying it (As in, the system does not see anything wrong.) Do you have any video cards with a native VGA out? It might be a incompatibility between the monitor and the VGA adapter.

Unfortunately I don't have any other video cards with me let alone with VGA.

 

I don't understand my the same DP/VGA adaptor working with other monitors while connecting to my PC. I might try a different branded cable/adaptor next.
