Please Help! No display despite CPU running.

[KingJio]

Hi guys, please help me! I recently moved house and realised that my monitor display had no signal when the PC is switched on. I have tried finding solutions on Youtube, including resetting? CMOS etc, changing ram ports, using 1 ram instead of 2 etc. The only thing that worked for me was when i removed the graphics card entirely and ran onboard graphics.

I have 3 questions:

1) must the monitor display displayport cable be connected to the graphics card for the display to show up? My computer has 2 displayport inlets, one on the gfx card and one for the cpu i think.

2) Do I need to change my gfx card? Is it faulty?

3) I am currently using a R9 290 Tri X from Sapphire bought in 2014. What are the current alternatives that can bring similar or marginally better performance? My usage is normal surfing, watching bluray movies and playing Dota. I used to play AC Black Flag and Tomb Raider but am short of time these days so kindly recommend a gfx card to me that fits my needs.

Thanks!

1) if you are using dedicated GPU, yes. The DP cable must be plugged in to ur GPU.

2) is the 6/8pin power plugged in properly? It could have gotten loose during moving. Try other ports like HDMI or DVI if u have spare cables lying around to make sure that it is not cable/port issue.

3) currently shopee having flash deal on asus 1070ti for 599.

If you have your dedicated gpu plug in ie your r9 290 graphics card. Make sure you plug in your hdmi or display port into your graphics card port not your motherboard port.

do check that your monitor source input is correct..
