So today I was cleaning my computer (Specs here) and when I finished and plugged in everything, my monitor (Dell 1901FP) wouldn't detect my computer. I use DVI and it was set to Digital Input. However, it still wouldn't detect anything. In fact, it says its in power saving mode.

I've tried
-Reseating RAM
-Using a video cable i know that works
-Using onboard graphics
-Using a monitor I know that works
-Clearing CMOS

do yourself a favor and just buy a monitor, but someone could probably find a solution to the problem at tom's hardware or another website like that.

One of your power connectors probably got unseated. Reseat everything (Plugging out then plugging back in firmly everything one at a time). If that doesn't work, make sure your video output didn't get reset in BIOS. Lots of things could be causing it but those are the most common. Let me know!

I've checked, everythings the way they need to be, plus I just reset BIOS and that STILL doesn't work
