How to Fix Computer No Display or No Signal on Monitor 

Welcome to "My Monitor wont display" club.

fun fact you’re probably watching this on your phone

"if it's not the one of the problems mentioned, then it could be any other piece of hardware and you'll have to figure it out for yourself" ... Cool, dude, thanks

Literally used my monitor a couple hours ago and I hop on again and boom nothing fucking works. I hate technology

life saver, this guy went over every possible scenario and now my monitor is hooked up properly. thanks man.

This saved me from a full on panic attack

Just realized my display cable wasn’t even plugged in

YES THANK YOU! i cant f believe i havent plugged in graphics...it was in motherboard and monitor never actually displayed system logs, only when Windows it already started. Than i tried to reinstall Windows and had no system display just...check the cable...omfg

You watch this vid on your phone 😂

Im a veteran in PC building and even i needed to watch thank you so much, video was very helpful and refreshed my memory.

1:52 this is just so I remember where I am

Perfect basic troubleshooting video. My friend shipped me a PC cross-country and it wouldn't start. I was very focused on the video card, but as this video points out, if the mouse/keyboard isn't being powered it may be a RAM issue. Turns out one of the sticks of RAM needed a very firm reseat. Did that and everything worked. Thanks very much!

Dude just saved my life, I was plugging my monitor into the motherboard and not the graphics card! Your the shit

Didn’t help at all

After owning a PC for 6 years, you'd think one would remember to plug the hdmi into the graphics card.. but alas, I don't

The moment I clicked on this video the monster turned on and then shut offf

Omg it was literally bc I didn’t put my hdmi cable in my graphics card I put it in my motherboard thank u

Me looking at the comments saying thanks you but my pc still don't show display 😑

I swear I clicked on this video, got about 3 mins deep into the video and my monitor came back on. Never touched anything. You sir are magical

You absolute mad lad 🤝 I spent literally hours trying to figure out why my computer wasn't sending an HDMI signal after rearranging my room and this whole time I was plugged into the motherboard instead of the graphics card 😂 Thank you for this video

THANKS SO MUCH I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR WEEKS

I gotta give you huge thanks, as someone who enjoys having fancy tech but isn't the most savvy, I never would have figured out the motherboard vs graphics card port issue. Thank you so much!

Honestly man you saved me sooo much I really appreciate it! Everyone this guy deserves a like and a subscription because that’s what I’m gonna give him

Removing the ram and placing them back did the trick for me..

Fully assembled my PC whole PC lit up nice and pretty ...."no signal" flashes across my monitor its been four hours since I've took it all apart and put it back together again. Not even this video helped

This man must feel like a God, he’s saved countless lives and continues to do so, amen.

Plugged my hdmi into my motherboard instead of gpu, a light panic attack here jesus

Thank you so much I was panicking 💀

I changed the resolution on my monitor to match the resolution of my drawing tablet (for some reason the tablet is not detected as a separate display) and then my monitor just stopped displaying anything. Just black.

Bro i watched soo many tutorials but the issue was my hdmi cable didn't fit my new graphics card...

Thank you so much for the video! I didn't realize I had the DisplayPort and HDMI on my graphics card because they were covered by stoppers. You helped me fix this simple but frustrating problem I had been struggling with for hours :)

You’re the man , I got a bit worried but my display cable was connected to my motherboard and not my graphics card

Thank you so much for this, was freaking out till I realised I just had the HDMI in the wrong port😂

I have a ONN and you can't even find the power button. I just flash a blue light beside five random buttons that do nothing.

THANK YOU LORD GOD HIGHEST SAVIOUR POWERFULEST MIGHTIEST HOLIEST MIGHTIEST JESUS HOD SPIRIT MIGHTIEST CHRIST GOD SPIRIT IN HEAVEN AND EARTH AMEN AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 FOR LIFE AND EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN AND EARTH AMEN AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It was in the motherboard -_-... Now I feel like an idiot. Thank you for the tip! You saved me a lot of frustration XD.

Tysm. My uncle gifted me his old pc and I was so scared that I'd broken it but I just had the HDMI cable plugged in to the motherboard and not the graphics card. This video was very helpful and I'm so glad you got straight to the tips and didn't ramble on for 2 min

Thanks a lot. Ram was the problem for me

My display cable was plugged into the motherboard 😂

My problem was in a mother card port on PC, thank you!

1:33 was my solution!

Damn bro I actually wasted like 5 hours! By putting hdmi in gpu instead of motherboard I resolved everything! thanks bro

Thank you. My problem was this: 1:33

I had my main monitor randomly stopped working. I changed the port which the display cable was connected to, changed from displayport to HDMI and tried connecting it to my motherboard. Nothing worked. Then after i while i changed the power cable from my main screen into another cable from my second monitor and then it worked. Tech is weird.

Let me guess you're watching on your Phone right now😂

No word of a lie this. I unplugged my old monitor and plugged in a new gaming monitor. No signal. I unplugged it and plugged in the old one. No signal. I started to wonder what was going on, I don't like it when my tech doesn't work. I tried all the usual things, plugging unplugging, then I used my device to try to find a solution. I found you on youtube on my device. Then I realised something. I had unplugged the hdmi, and plugged it back into my motherboard, rather than the graphics card. Your vid saved me. True story.

the ram was the problem,,, i just added new ones today and one of them i didn't put it right... thanks man

My problem is it just won’t turn on like black screen

THANKYOU YOU SAVED ME IT WORKED WHEN I CONNECT IT TO MY GRAPHICS CARD HDMI 😎👍

Do I close my pc before I take the cmos battery out?

I was losing hope and I figured this was another video where it works for everyone else and it my specific problem. But, to my pleasant surprise you delivered and gave enough solid solutions that one of them worked! Thank you so much, liked the video of course.

Spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and don’t use God’s name in vain

Thanks a lot Man, helped me a lot. Also nice hat, we match lol😂

Not helpful

Found out my HDMI cord was in fact not connected to the graphics card.. I almost threw my monitor out thank god I didn’t lmao

“Make sure it’s plugged into the gpu instead of the motherboard” Me: Ah so I’m just really stupid 😑

Bruh, I was in tears because I thought my PC had died and this worked. Thank you!

1:48 was my problem! Thank u so much

What if none of these methods work after after a BIOS update?

Thank you for this information! I was using a known-working GPU with known-working cables and monitors, I was about to start looking on the motherboard when I came across your video and found that the RAM was slotted in the A2-B2 SO-DIMMs and when I put them in correctly the display came back!! Very helpful!!!

Thanks a lot! This helped me out, i was putting the hdmi in the motherboard instead of the graphics card lol..smh.. thanks

I thought it was my RAM. Turns out your tip #1 saved me. The reason it wasn’t turning on is because my HDMI1 on my monitor display was on the wrong channel. Thank you so much. I was going to take this into the repair shop lol.

My monitor wouldnt work for days, then i discovered that i had it plugged into the motherboard lmao

1:37 Yes I was that idiot 😅 Thanks!

Within 32 seconds of this video, I solved my issue. Thank you !!

Thank you for this. I thought my hdmi port went bad and was getting aggravated since I ruled out the cable and monitor being the problem with known good items. The problem was in fact operator error on my part as I plugged the cord into the wrong hdmi port on the computer itself. I was plugging into the motherboard one like you showed with the arrow instead of the graphics card one.

My problem is after i turn on my pc it shows an image then it says no signal but when i press the restart button on pc its working

Absolutely wild. This happened to me right after a windows update so I was sure it had to do with that. Had no other ideas so figured it was worth a try to reseat the RAM, and lord if the monitors didn't just fire right up LOL. Thanks so much!

Really saved the day managed to fix the problem by tinkering with the ram. Thank you so much

Lots of the comments here look like spam to give viewers the illusion of a successful troubleshooting guide. I can't say you saved my life. Just wasted my time.

Thanks! Simple and straight to the point! 😃

It just saved me from a heart attack 😭

Thank you!! I thought my monitor broke

I was tryna help my friend through a call. They had there hdmi cable plugged into where their keyboard goes 🤦‍♀️

OMG!!! Tysm I was stressed out so much I thought I broke my pc but it was just that I put the HDM1 on my motherboard and not on my graphic cards

You are a life saver! Thank you so much!

I literally had my display port plugged into the motherboard and not the graphics card, saved me a headache thanks 🙏

You forgot one thing... Monitors and TV's have their own onboard processors of some sort or another these days. They lock up and turn inputs off and require a reset of some sort such as rebooting the PC or disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable before the HDMI input comes back to life. The joys of everything becoming computerized.

Turns out for me it was external hard drive that causing the issue for some reason it your monitor is 100% working and have black screen then remove external hard drive that worked for me

Posting in the hopes this helps someone… I tried everything I could find online to no avail. What worked for me was fully removing my Ram, placing one stick in which didn’t work so then took it out and put the other stick in alone and it worked. Shut down PC, added over Ram to the other slot and works like a dream now

Very grateful against you! I thought i ruin something in my motherboard card, then i went disconnected one cell of ram, and it work. Thanks very much! -FrenchBass

You literally just saved me so much trouble bought a 2k gaming setup pc. I was pluggimg the 4k ultra hd hdmi cable into the motherboard and not the graphics port. I appreciate your help liked the video

Saved my day. Instead of a bunch of useless input straight up direction in minutes. Thank you a million

My monitor wont even open the menu when i press the button, and its brand new. Also, yes, it is plugged in and powered on, it just keeps alternating between "analog" and "hdmi"

1:38 Well, it turns out im a dumbass and did NOT have my HDMI hooked to my card. I have no choice but to sub and like.

It was the battery for me. Thank you 😁😁!

1:40 THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO I FRICKING LOVE YOU I HAD A FULL PANIC ATTACK AND NOW ITS WORKING OMG I LOOOVE YOUUU

Thank you so much! I thought I had a faulty graphics card, i took the rams out and put them back in, all works now

Been here for 30mins tryna figure this out and my HDMI wasn’t connected to to the right port area on the PC. Thank you

Guys another trick -(it worked for me) Try typing any random letters and there's a slim chance that your monitor wil work

Well I just realize I put my Monitor to HMDI it should be VDA

Thanks! This was very informative. I had forgotten to plug my HDMI cable into my graphics card...NOT motherboard. Made my day...I was in a funk.

Dude i cant thank you enough, everywhere on the internet ive only found stuff about resetting bios, removing cmos batteries, cleaning ramsticks, and whatnot, and all this time i didnt even know that the graphics driver had its own Hdmi port, until now because of you, thank you and i wish you all the luck in the world

Bro tysm i though i broke my pc it was shoeing black screen then i saw that the hdmi slipped behind my desk so is wasnt in tysm

Mine, I bought a hammer, and then smashed this piece of trash monitor. HP monitors is known to be a piece of garbage monitor.

You're a life saver. I was about to lose my mind till I found your video. Resetting the ram did the trick.

I've been trying to contact NZXT tech support for over four hours. I found your video and, with your help, it took me five minutes to fix. You are a god. Thanks.

This one of the only videos that actually helps

I didn't know you need to connect the monitor to the graphics card. That was all.

Mine had an issue with one of the ram sticks, figured that out after you said “if your keyboard isn’t working”. thanks a lot!
