AlexWaddicor Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Today I bought an Acer Aspire desktop, at the shop they called it the "dogs *censored*" and "the beast". I have connected it to my computer using a HDMI cable and a adapter. Everything is working fine, apart form one thing, its not working. Nothing has changed. I dont know how to set it up, it didn't come with a cd or anything. It has Intel Core i5 650, It has 6Gb DDR3, It has NVIDIA GEFORCE graphics Card. UIts not even f***ing working!help?

HeyYou Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Does it beep at you shortly after you turn the PC on? Is your monitor plugged into the correct video port on the back of the PC? (there may be two... one onboard, and another add-on card... you want the one on the add-on card, if present.) Does the monitor power up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexWaddicor Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have a HDMI cable going from the back of the desktop in to my pc with an adapter because for some reason the £800 piece of s*** doesn't have a HDMI slot. I turn the desktop on and all it does is light up. The monitor does nothing. Nothing pops up. Its basiclly a glowing box worth £800 sat next to my desk doing nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Erm, that was a bit confusing...... you have an HDMI cable going from one PC to another?? Or, was that a typo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexWaddicor Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 no, I have a HDMI cable, plugged into my pc with a adapter. That goes into my monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Ok. Does the monitor wake up at all and whine about no signal? Will it tell you what port it is expecting to get a signal on? (I know on mine, if you don't tell it the correct port, it is too stupid to figger it out on its own.... gotta use the built in utility to select an input mode.)
