Okay. Try to remove first your graphics card. Use first your on-board (built-in) graphics card. See if the display will come back. Then install the necessary drivers of your motherboard. Once done, put-back your video card and install its driver.

Yes. Check out your motherboard's User Manual.

But hold-on, try to connect your monitor to the VGA port of your built-in graphics card. See if it works.tried that, didnt work. only the graphics card one works.Maybe you should remove first your DEDICATED graphics card and put back the monitor into the VGA port of your built-in one.kk il giv that a try in a little while thanks alot, ill get back to u in a while. few hours probly. ty.Alright.
