    So I just finished my new built computer. I turn it on and everything is fine. The CPU is running along with all the power fans etc. The screen just won't turn on. It keeps saying no signal found. I tried it on different monitors and got the same result. What might the problem be here?

    Turn on the monitor before you turn on your PC

    Have you tried hooking up the monitor to another computer?

    Are you using your onboard graphics or a dedicated card?

    If you're using a dedicated graphics card, you have to plug the monitor into either of the graphics card and make sure they receive power. I had the same issue and I panicked like a little girl.

    ok.

    take out your dedicated card and plug in to the on-board video and see if it works.
    also give us all the information of your build.
