It's a PC you built and it's not working. I disagree on two points here. Which are new PC and monitor not working properly.
You have a dead newly built PC. How your troubleshoot a dead PC hasn't changed much. You make it as small as possible with the least number of parts that should work. There would be no case either since it's not required to see if motherboard, CPU+HSF, one stick RAM and PSU gives up a display.

Hi,
I bought new PC and new monitor but every time I try to connect monitor to PC screen is black. PC is without OS. When I connect through HDMI cable in left upper corner is showing HDMI/Analog. When I connect through VGA cable there is "Analog" message and when I try to push "Menu" button on monitor it shows "good test" message. Monitor is Samsung S24D330HSX. I connected it to laptop through HDMI cable and it works. Do you know what I can do to make this monitor work with my new PC?
