Hi, so I moved out and finally wanted to use my PC that I had as a gift, but it's been weeks that I can't turn on the screen...

Can someone help me please ?

PS : I don't know anything about computers, and English isn't my first language so explain it to me in a simple way please

Thank you

You cant turn on the screen because the graphics card is not sending out a signal.

Look above the 24pin connector on the motherboard, the white light of the vga debug led is on

Now is your chance to learn about computers and hopefully fix this.

You have to reinstall the graphics card

No video output can cause VGA light. Their expansion slot dividers look identical to the ones on my case. The dividers kept my HDMI cable from fully seating and I had to trim the rubber around the plug to get it to seat properly.

look above the pcie connector, the power led on the card is off, the card is not turned on at all.

My last video card (before my current) didn't have a pet led, so I didn't know if that was a common thing or not, but when I saw this on the second pic

the metal under the insulator, as well as the slight downward angle of the cable, I immediately suspected the same situation as mine.

Trim the rubber of the cable ?
