Monitor/gpu issue. I seriously don't know what to do anymore and my excitement for my new build is starting fading away.

Hey everyone.

My specs:
- AMD 5 Ryzen 2600
- NVIDIA GTX 1050 2gb
- AsRock B450 Pro4.

 

So, I finished building my PC today and I was about to boot it. 

 

First attempted failed. I realised my monitor had only a VGA cable while 1050 has only HDMI and DVI-D.

 

I bought a passive DVI-D to VGA adapter, same thing. "Check Signal Cable" box on the screen and below it "Analog".

I then tried to remove one stick of ram, check if everything is in place, re-apply gpu. Same thing.

 

Then I bought a DVI-D cable as some suggested me. Plugged it nicely to both monitor and graphics card. Same thing. Check Signal Cable error. 

 

I have spent whole day trying to figure out what's wrong and I seriously have no idea. When I turn PC on CPU fan and chassis fan are working normally.

 

I really ask for help at this point. I don't know what's wrong and I have spent a lot for cables and stuff already. I am seriously tired at this point. 

Please, anyone?

Did you cycle through the input options on the monitor? I have a few monitors here at work that aren't smart enough to know which connection is attached, and have to be manually switched from VGA (analogue) to DVI (digital)

There's no such thing. If it's a DVI-D to VGA adapter, it's active.

 

As @Radium_Angel said, try cycling manually through your monitor's inputs. Has the monitor ever worked for you, or did you buy it when you built this pc? Try using a different screen. If you can't get any screen to work, you might have a DOA card. Is the fan on the card spinning? Also, did you make sure every power cable is connected correctly, specifically your graphics card's 6 or 8pin connector (if it has one)?
