I have got a second hand SyncMaster 710v monitor which I have connected to my PC. When I switch it on I get a black screen, occasionally it will show check signal cable across the screen and sometimes when I press the menu button I either get a plain white screen for a few seconds or I get test...

I had the power led and hdd led wires in wrong and also re-seating cpu seemed to fix it.

Well as I said I wasn't sure if I had put the wires right as for components: Motherboard: MSI 870-c45 AMD motherboard CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 Ram: 4 x 4GB (Kensington make I think) DVD/CD Drive 1TB Hard Drive 2 Fans 400W CPU GE Force 210 Graphics Card (As I couldn't see a graphics output on the...

I have done what you suggested, Minecraft is working fine now but I am not even getting the 2 cutscenes on dune anymore now. Could it be the iso of the game causing the problems or is there anything else in the vm that could be messing it up?
