The monitor does need to be plugged into the GPU rather than the Motherboard.

I assume you have only a D-Sub monitor? I.E. One of these connectors.


If that's the case you need to get a DVI or HDMI or Display Port to D-sub converter or buy a more modern monitor or check to see if your monitor has DVI or HDMI.
DVI looks like this:

yes, i am using a d sub monitor. I think that may be why the display doesnt show. guess i'll need a convertor. i hope this is the problem, it can be easily fixed rather then disecting the whole computer lol
