I got this computer and when i plug it in and turn it on the monitor only says that it couldnt detect anything. Do i have to do something else?

You have to connect to the video card out, which is closer to the bottom of the tower, it takes a DVI cable

You need to connect the monitor to the graphics card and not to the motherboard. The graphics cards DVI outs are the two located next to each other around the middle of the tower on the back.

As far as I can tell you should have no problems, your monitor has a VGA input cord, so it should just be plug and play.

Ivan had a legitimate question Cliff with a sarcastic answer from you. My monitor has the same problem and is worthless at this point. If we figure it out I will fairly rate this product. Our security system is a high test system and not from the big box stores.

I don't remember having to do anything special when I first got my monitor, but it has been quite some time so I am not sure. Did you recive a set up disk with the monitor?. Again I'm not sure if I did or not. If not, I would go to the Dell website and click on support, and it will guide you to there downloads. I would try doing that, however, I am thinking that you probably do have a defective monitor. I would try the download first though. Kind of vague, but I hope it helps.

Did you uninstall all previous Video Drivers? Also start out with a simple VGA cable. Make sure you are direct connect with VGA cable computer to monitor.

1) You can try another DVI cable to your monitor from the PC. Or if your new monitor has HDMI slot, you can try using a HDMI cable instead.2) You can try the card on another PC to see if the card works. (If it doesnt, possibly card faulty, even though fan is running or you need to check the motherboard settings to enable the PCIE settings for graphics.) 3) Also try the new monitor with the old graphic card to see if the monitor itself has any issues. You may never know you might get a "dud" on your new monitor.

Check that the cable is fully seated in your PC. I had the same issue, I thought it was fully plugged in but there was one more click it could go.

I am having the same problem. It won't show up on my control panel and the computer won't detect it as a hardware device. I have some pretty important stuff on it too. I don't suppose you found out how to make it work since you posted this comment?

Make sure the PC is not defective and that all cables are plugged into the board. Disconnect all non essentials from the mobo....only leave RAM. CAN and CO Fan. Power on to see if it POST. Also make sure PSU us set to correct voltage of 110 and not 220

It could be a number of things. First thing I would do is check all of your connections. Unplug and reconnect just to be sure. Check your power supply. If you have another monitor hook it up and see if it might be your video card. If you do those things and everything is connected properly, and the other monitor works fine then I would say you need a new one.

It sounds as if either your card is bad or your monitor is bad, try using a different monitor connector. If this does not work, reinstall your old card, does the monitor receive a signal? If so it seems as though thr card is bad, begin return procedures

I think you need to check with your local Apple Store. I purchased two of these, attached a monitor to each, plugged them in and everything worked right away. You may have inadvertently changed something or don't have everything connected correctly. Take it to your local Apple Store, they can help you. These things work perfectly right out of the box.

sorry, it has been so long since we hooked it up i forgot. There were 2 hot wires going to the monitor, one did not go on automatically so i used the other. The unit works well, after several months.

make sure it is connected to a video source, yellow plug. other than that i dont know. maybe defective? i would try a few different things before sending it back. turn it off then on, letting it warm up, etc

if this is a second monitor (meaning you already have one connected to the computer), then you would need a video card with dual video output. If you look on the back of the computer, see where the video cable is plugged in - try to see if there is a second connector that looks just like it. If you don't have a dual video card adapter, then you would need a new video card.

No. It should detect is as a USB device. Check your USB port connections and if your USB drivers were installed (if you have an older version of Windows).
