Installed graphics card, monitor error (check signal cable)?
I just installed my ATI Radeon X1950 XT sapphire graphics card to my computer. I inserted it into the slot and plugged it in. Now when I turn on my computer the monitor keeps getting the Check Signal Cable error. I have it plugged in properly and everything not sure what is going on.

Ah, I noticed that there are 3 plugins at the back of my pc from the graphics card. Am I suppose to plug something in back there? not sure
Yes. That's where the cable plugs in.
Monitor >>>> back of card.
My friend gave me this one, I dont have any cords to connect from the back of the graphics card to the monitor. i will take a picture of the back to show you.
