Well I installed my graphic card 2 days ago and I had no problems with it but then suddenly my screen monitor started to flicker then just went completely Blank and said "dvi: no signal". so I unplugged the graphic card also the wires and connected it all up how it was in the beginning and the screen came up perfectly without any flickers at all. So I thought it was the graphic card so at the moment I've sent it back to exchange it for a new one since I fiddle with it a bit. So is there anyone who can help? Please.

It may be a problem in cable from monitor to computer case, Check your VGA connectors inside computer case about put correctly. By the way I recommend you download the latest driver of your VGA. Maybe it solve that problem!

I fail to see a problem, you said you fixed it but you sent the GPU back? I don't understand.

I thought I did because I changed my Hz to 75 instead of 60 which put a stop the flickers on my screen but after about 1 hour it flickered badly then just went blank but I personally think it's my dvi cable because without the graphic card my screen still works but when I press one of the button under my monitor it says

DVI: No Signal
VGA: active

This is without the card

And with the card it says

DVI: No Signal
VGA: No Signal

So I'm confused, please help out

It's not too hard to destroy a component. Did you follow any precautions? How exactly did you install the new GPU?

Anyways, these could be solutions:
* Update the drivers, completely remove them and then install them again.
* Make sure all cables are properly connected.
* What cable are you using? I would advise you into buying a HDMI cable, and a supporting screen. I've had flickering problems before due to a bad cable.
* Set the monitor refresh rate to what it should be.

I can do some further investigation if you can let me know what Graphics Card you have?

Lol it could also be a totally fucked up powersupply, if you're not getting enough power to your graphics card it will cause that

Usually VGA cable (lead that runs from monitor to computer). Check power supply, but the most common issue is memory.
Check our memory is seated properly, this can cause that issue too. Just take it out and re-seat it

Did you try turning it off and on again?
