Hey guys,

Ive just received my new computer which i bought from Playtech. Plugged everything in, should be good to go. But when i turn it on, via VGA or HDMI, i get a no signal message. What am I doing wrong???

Thanks in advance for any help :)

I know it sounds stupid, but are you plugging it into the right video card ? ie: Plugging monitor into the onboard video when have an "external" video card installed as well ?

Good point. There are so many slots these days at the back of the computer, it can easily fool even the seasoned PC-ers!
