Couple of weeks ago I ordered a new cheap PC to replace my old sh*t PC. Well, it's arrived and my screen won't turn on... The computer turns on(blue lights, fan spinning, components running) but nothing appears on screen. It goes no signal red green etc, on the old PC this would happen but then it would go along with startup procedure. This one just stays black and monitor lights go red.
I've opened up the PC but not sure what is supposed to be connected internally or not. Bunch of ends hanging from small yellow, red and black wires coming from the graphics card and upper section. Anyone know what to do?

Yes, already had the monitor. This is a desktop PC.

But seriously, though, possibly check that all the wires are connected properly, and are not broken. Inside the case, that is.
Well it is used from eBay so.... Still, I always seem to have bad luck when it comes to most things, no matter how unlikely.

Just plugged in my old computer and it is displaying on the monitor, fully functional. Has to be something with the new computer... Going to fiddle with it a bit more.

Update-
Well I've done a lot of research and experimentation...
I've cleared BIOS and CMOS
Messed around with RAM
Have tested whether the motherboard is dead or any other pieces are faulty
Some more controlled experiments both on different computer and monitor
Conclusion-
Monitor is not an issue, could be the power supply, cpu, or the ports on the motherboard(for visuals). Going to test if it's the cpu tomorrow morning, but can't test the power supply. If the cpu isn't the issue... I'll have to find the proper cables to connect the monitor to the graphics card(if this solves it, I'm gonna rethink my life). Cheers!
