Hello,
Today I went to buy a PC tower, and when I got home, I plugged in all the cables and the monitor, I turned on my PC tower, and my screen stays black (it just says "Entering power save").
I don't want to be vulgar, but this really pisses me off, so please help me. What should I do?

Have you made sure that the VGA port was properly connected to something? It could be that the tower only works with DVI (this happened with a tower I had; nothing was connected to the VGA port inside the PC).

Was there some sort of cover on the VGA port?

In that case, you can either use a DVI to VGA adapter or change the tower tomorrow (recommended), but make sure that the VGA connector is available on the label.

I have absolutely no idea if the VGA is connected, and yes there was a cover on the VGA, does that change anything? And if nothing is connected, I'll get an adapter or a DVI cable. ^^

It's all sorted out, the VGA wasn't connected to anything, so I had to get an adapter.
