[Help] urgent problem !

[MuggerX]

My new rig can't read my monitor via a vga to vga port, is this cable outdated I should get a vga to dvi cable instead ?

Why not use a dvi connection instead? VGA is analog it's not as good as DVI.

Yeah cos my monitor old le ma, gonna get a vga to dvi adaptor and try.. The feeling of hard restarting ur new com twice sucks -.-

My monitor only got vga port.. shucks

The issue maybe due to resolution/fresh rate your old monitor unable to support. Boot to safe mode and set display as follow:
1. Refresh rate to 60Hz
2. Resolution to whatever your old monitor can support

save setting and reboot into normal mode.

Thanks jtj for the reply anyway, I tink I found the cause of the problem... I connect my monitor to the vga port on the motherboard -.- my gpu motherboard below do not have vga port.. guess I have to get a vga to dvi adaptor for the time being and upgrade my monitor asap. Just to confirm with u guys again if the gpu is connected, plugging the monitor via the motherboard port would render it unable to detect signal right?

If a discrete GPU is installed, video signal will be output from the discrete GPU.
