New monitor will not work with HDMI connection

Running Windows 10 Pro on ASUS P590 motherboard, intel i7 processor:
Got a new monitor today- its connections to PC are either HDMI or VGA. Older monitor had only VGA output, but since my newer motherboard has both types of outlets on it, I decided to try HDMI. I tried 4 different HDMI cables and get the same error "no cable connected" each time. Connected VGA cable & it works perfectly. Question- do I have to uninstall or disable my outboard Radeon video card for HDMI to be active on my ASUS motherboard?

Did you set the monitor to accept the HDMI input?
Sorry for the bad pic, but the monitor will have a way to "select" what type of cable you are using...

Do you perhaps have a nearby computer-equipped friend who would let you test your monitor with each of your cables on the friend's computer?
And possibly test a proven HDMI cable belonging to your friend.
It could be the quickest & clearest way to isolate the cause of the fault.


Best of luck,
Denis

Thanks to both Denis & Ghot for your suggestions. I currently am using VGA cableing and will continue to dwell on other possibilities. The search for a solution continues...

As Denis mentioned... the easiest way to troubleshoot this is with a known good cable, and to try the monitor on a different computer as well.
