I have been building up a PC from 2nd hand parts and have struck a hurdle on the last jump.
I have a Gigabyte B250H D3h m/b. 16Gb RAM. A Crucial SSD. 600w PSU. I was running the system happily enough from a i5 6500 CPU using the M/B HDMI port.
The final straw was adding a EVGA GTX960 GPU. It was running the PC well until I ran Userbenchmark to see how much better the new rig was. The program ran well enough but then I lost all power to the monitor. The fans are running including the CPU and the various lights on the M/B are also lighting up.
However, there is nothing showing on the monitor other than "cable not connected". I have removed the "new" GPU and gone back to the M/B HDMI port after removing the new GPU but alas same result "Cable not connected". I have left the PC for a while now unplugged and on trying again, I still get the same result. I could try the GPU on another backup PC but I am afraid I might get the same result. Any help please?
