Is the monitor plugged into your graphics card or the motherboard? Swap it to the motherboard and then reboot. | ||

Either the monitor isn't working or your computer is using the discreet graphics card instead of the integrated one | ||

Sometimes i see this symptom and i usually just say to install windows on the iGPU and then get the drivers for the card. I'm not sure why the comp isn't recognizing it.

It says it takes DL-DVI, HDMI, and DP, and I'm not using any of those. on second thought, this might be why | ||

If you have a screen that only uses VGA, you should probably replace it - that was out of date around a decade ago (my first 1920x1200 dvi screen was ~2007-2008 and i was not ahead of the curve). If you don't want to do that, you can use a dvi-i to vga adapter. | ||

Any point to doing that? Harmless or harmful? I also think it's weird how the lights on my mouse keep burning even after I turn of the PC | ||
