When I switch on my comp all I am getting on my monitor screen is the message ....No cable connected . Now I do not have another monitor to test with to see if its the Graphics card or the monitor, they are connected via an HDMI lead. what I did do was change the power supply just in case. changed the lead for a new one still the same message..NO CABLE CONNECTED. So what I diid next was connect mp PC via an HDMI lead to my HD tv and it worked ... So to you more experienced guy's does this info give you any clues as to what is my problem.

I had a Gateway monitor that had the HDMI plug go bad. Awards

I can game again It just shows I am a true Idiot and forgot to even try that I stripped my comp to bits and re built it. Assumed the worse and was ready to buy a new monitor and or a GPU. Again though thanks guy's. Awards

Even if they only have an on board VGA, you can still use a VGA to HDMI adapter to test stuff. See if your community has an electronics recycling program, and bring the mates running the show coffee,tea, or donuts. Get on their good side, and you can usually get some older stuff to use for testing. It worked for me, I also got a 15" LCD monitor that is really handy for testing, and takes up a shit load less space than a CRT.
