Title: New Rig Build - No Input Signal to Monitor
Post by: Lizard on January 07, 2014, 08:11:44 PM
I'm new to the world of mining rig builds and as such have a retarded question to ask.

I've just built a a rig with 7 x Sapphire 7950 Dual-X GPUs, using a Z77A-GD65 motherboard. After connecting it all up correctly and plugging the monitor into the mobo via VGA it powers up fine but I get no signal to the monitor. If I use a newer monitor with HDMI and plug into one of the cards then I get the display expected.

So am I meant to plug into the mobo or one of the cards? If the mobo what could be the cause of no signal?

- 1x VGA port***
- *** This platform supports dual-display function by any two output ports (HDMI+DVI,
DVI+VGA or VGA+HDMI).

Maybe you have the HDMI+DVI option enabled which disables VGA

Turn off the on board video in the bios and use the video card to connect to your monitor.

Thanks just needed to edit the BIOS to enable the integrated graphics adapter.
