I don't know if anyone's suggested this yet, but do you have the monitor plugged into the motherboard? If you have a dedicated graphics card you MUST connect it to the Graphics card, not your motherboard, as the onboard graphics controller is disabled when a Dedicated GPU is detected on a PCIe slot.

Did a quick skim of the thread - That's been asked. I'm going to side with spazzy and ask if you're actually POSTing.

Does turning it on give you a ''beep''?
Is your PC beeper even installed on your machine so you can diagnose any issues?

The PC is fine. It starts up as any computer. Using the TV actually works. However. I can't find how to set up the BIOS, so the PC will match with the Monitor.

So do you have windows installed or no? What do you mean it works with a TV.

Sounds like he, doesn't actually have anything installed on the PC at all.

As for it working with the TV, I think he means he can plug his TV into it and get a picture.

My older brother does that with his PC and it works just fine. From memory he uses a HDMI cable, but I'm a little fuzzy on that.

This is painful. Try the following steps (or something very similar to them as every bios is different, and since you didn't give a mobo model I can't give you specifics):

Open Bios when PC is starting up with F2/F8/F12/DEL (One of those at least).
Navigate to GPU settings and find a setting called something like "Enable onboard video card" or something close.
Enable that.
Plug your monitor into the motherboard and start the PC again. If it works then the problem is most likely going to be the connector you're using and you should switch to just HDMI.

I'll try that once again.

However, because the Monitor is really old, it has only a VGA jack(as I said like 3 times). The Video card has a DVI and HDMI jack, which is why I am using a VGA/HDMI cable. I will try however to search for a VGA/DVI cable if what you told me doesn't work.

Can you post a link or picture of the hdmi-vga converter? As it's going from digital to analog, it actually needs active conversion. For that reason, they might require drivers or so, something which they dont have when there's no OS like windows.

If you take out the graphics card and plug your monitor into the VGA port, it should work.

Updating the situation...

The Monitor issue seems to be solved. I've installed Windows 10, DirectX components and other essential stuffz. Now I only have to set up my older games, and so on including the internet cable. It is a slow process as I have more RL issues than just the PC.

'Till I finish to set everything up and solve my other problems, I won't be on Disco ingame (probably for a longer period, not sure)

Could use that tutorial of installing Disco on Win 10 ^_^

Windows 10 is pretty good with a lot of older games, once you manage to get them installed that is. That is where the problem lies for most of them, but there are a lot of places that have work arounds -or- even brand new installers for some games.

Good luck.
