Somewhere sometime somehow you fried the motherboard. That's the chance we take when we mess with the hardware. Perhaps you can find a cheap MB on Ebay.
Thanks for your response,
but the issue with the monitor was happening before I opened my box.....and started 1 by
1 testing... will ck out motherboard....thanks
Through all of your changes, I AM 100% certain you did not load all of your drivers, or your bios was not configured for the hardware correctly, so you made another change, and another and before you know it: VIOLA a boat ANCHOR!
When troubleshooting issues like this, take the time to make 1 change at a time.
Does the MB have an onboard graphics? Boot it up and get stable with that first!
Why would think that a reload of the OS would fix a hardware issue? The BIOS was (probably) not set up to even accept the hardware load. Is it a plug an play monitor? Is your bios enabled plug and play? Start at the bottom.
<EDIT-Yes I do UNBOX monitors on a weekly basis that I HAVE TO LOAD DRIVERS for (if the OS does not recognize it on first boot! IT HAPPENS!)
