need help with computer

Hi guys,

Got a new computer, but when I connect it to my screen it's just all black. He can find the VGA cable that is used to connect the computer to the screen, but it's just all black then it says

"Monitor goes to sleep."

When I rebooted it, it did work and I had view, but when I had to reset my resolution, and it said "Set to 1", which I pressed, I had the same problem all over again and now none of them are working.

Video card, motherboard does work on this computer screen.
Cables are all correctly plugged.

It's something else who can help me?

Had something simular to this, might be you need an extra dvi connection piece to stick in computer and then stick vga cable it that.

This thing:

Works for me when I connect it with this.
My screen uses the blue one and I can fit it into my computer. But the computer has 2 slots of that yellow one, so I think the computers thinks it's connected to one of the yellows but it's the blue one I want.

Ik had zo'n dingetje bijgeleverd bij mijn acer computer, en hij deed het niet in de gewone vga (blauw) poort maar wel met deze. Vond dat ook erg vreemd :s
Parent
ja, ik denk dat dat mijn probleem ook is!

E: ik heb die aansluiting gevonden ergens helemaal verstopt. kga het nu proberen:P
Parent
Zo'n ding kost helaas 15 euro bij de mediamarkt overigens :D heb nog wel een reserve hier though :$ waar woon je?
Parent

Ik zou een hele hoge flat opzoeken.
PC -> Raam -> Oprapen -> Opnieuw proberen.
Wat als je direct aan een kanaal woont? :$ Opvissen ipv oprapen?
Parent
Raam aan de voorkant? :D
