Hello,

How can you check to see if monitor cable, adapter and VGA connections are working? New computer, old monitor. Monitor was working with older computor. Have a DVI-A adaptor connecting new cable to VGA monitor.

First boot the computer into "safe mode". (use F8 after you see the Windows logo) Safe mode will use a standard vga mode of 800x600 and 60 hertz. This should display on your old monitor. I suspect your default resolution settings on you new computer are out of the acceptable range of the old monitor.

Good Luck
