Good.

I still think it will be the best solution to buy a cheap hdmi-cable and connect that between your graphic card and monitor.

You may also try to use the last driver.

That's a graphics card and that's a DVI-D dual link connector

If both your monitor and your vid card have HDMI or Display Port, you might want to try one of those cables.

As @NTN mentioned... try an HDMI cable.

HDMI, DVI, VGA.

try an hdmi cable 1.8 metre can be had for very little. I have seen them in those pound shop type places.

Ah so attach HDMI cable from the slot in the monitor to PC. I assume these are HDMI slots? PC case is really old.

DisplayPort has only one corner knocked off.
HDMI has both corners knocked off.

I think your vid card has DisplayPort, HDMI, and 2x DVI... but your monitor only has HDMI... so you need an HDMI cable.

And your monitor has DVI, VGA and HDMI

the gtx660 ti should have hdmi port like below. I doubt the h61 motherboard would have hdmi

You probably have a dvi-d cable, did you try both of the dvi ports on the graphics card ?

Your monitor do not have displayport, so then you have to use an adapter. Try to avoid that.

Your monitor have hdmi, and your gtx 660ti also have hdmi.
Then you could directly use a hdmi-cable between those two. And avoid all the hassle with extra connection to adapters. It could confuse NVIDIA.....too.

But try to download the latest driver, may old driver is causing trouble too.

Aha,. thanks guys. So you think the morning cut out could be down to the current cable being on it's way out?

Apologies I got confused. My old CPU definitely had integrated graphics because I disabled my old video card on a game because it was unstable with new nvidia drivers, whereas it doesn't seem this new motherboard has CPU graphics unless they are disabled.

I've checked driver on this one and seems it's up to date.

I'll try a HDMI cable and see if that stops the "no signal" message. Thanks again.

Yep tried both so it could well be the cable.
