TV doesn't detect pc

[Fo shizzle]

Hi I have just got a new motherboard for my PC and ram. I use my TV as a monitor.. It is a 50 inch technika..
My new motherboard doesn't have any HDMI connections with it, but the graphics card does. I used the graphics card HDMI before. When the cable is hooked up to my TV, it says no signal.. :/ It worked before, I don't know how it couldn't just stop working.. I have no pc monitor either..

Once you change your motherboard, you must reinstall windows. Otherwise, your computer will *NOT be impossible to operate normally.

Ah, so I would need a computer monitor for that

 

[Gate9er]

No you must do a clean windows reinstallation so that the new motherboard gets can function properly.

 

[Fo shizzle]

how would I do that since nothing shows up

 

[Gate9er]

If you connect your bootable device (flash drive or cd) it should be able to boot the windows installation menu, provided that the device is indeed bootable and has been set as your first bootable drive from the BIOS.

So I just put in the windows cd and it should install by itself?

 

[Gate9er]

In theory yes. Try it and see how it goes.

 

[Fo shizzle]

Well I've put the disc in and left it for two hours.. Nothing has really happened...

 

[Gate9er]

Does your motherboard have onboard graphics?

 

[Fo shizzle]

Do you mean a graphics card? That's separate. I don't know much about motherboards so I might be wrong

 

[Gate9er]

Does your motherboard have an HDMI, VGA or DVI output on it?

 

[Fo shizzle]

It has a DVI output but no HDMI

 

[Fo shizzle]

Hmm.. My old motherboard had a HDMI output which I used because the HDMI output on the graphics card didn't work... Guess the graphics card output doesn't work..?

 

[Gate9er]

Connect the DVI of the motherboard with your monitor and check if you can see anything on the screen.

 

[Fo shizzle]

The motherboard doesn't have any of them .. I just checked

 

[Gate9er]

Can you please give me your system's full specs?

 

[Fo shizzle]

I can't get the specs because I can't get on the pc

 

[Gate9er]

What brand is your computer?

 

[Fo shizzle]

It's custom built .. :/
