    So I have a problem with my monitor that I simply cant fix, I tried everything so I need help.
    I turn on my computer and everything seems fine, except my monitor doesnt do anything, when I turn my monitor off and on again it says "no signal please check your connection", and then it enters sleep mode again.
    I tried two monitors, and two monitor cables but nothing changed, first I had a hdmi to vga adapter but I broke it by accident, im not sure if its 100% broken though, after that I went and bought a dvi to vga adapter and thats when I couldnt get my monitor to display anything.
    What I tried so far is unplugging gpu power cables and plugged the monitor in the motherboard, I tried unplugging the psu and holding the power button for 1 minute but nothing changed.

    Either get one of your friends to bring their laptop or something. Because you need to find out if it is the pc which is not working or the monitor

    Okay, your pc usually has two types of input. One from the motherboard and another from the graphics card.

    Remove your gpu and use motherboard ports. Try and tell what happened

    I removed the motherboars battery and put it back after 10 minutes but no bueno, 0 beeps or flashes, from what I can tell the system boots up normally and it propably even reaches the desktop because the leds in the pc turn to their configured color which happens after u boot normally

    I have a feeling its a cable/adaptor/monitor issue.

    First I'd try some more adaptor. Try buying HDMI to VGA adaptor just incase.

    Alllrighty... Remove RAM, try booting with one stick only and try different slots starting from the preferred.

    Also worth a try

    I thought your monitor was VGA... otherwise I think you should get digital interface cable rather than a VGA.
