Hi everyone, I just recently purchased a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 790-0010 and a new Acer Monitor and for some reason the monitor will not display images from the desktop while using a HDMI cable but when I connect the HDMI cable to my laptop, the image from the laptop will display on the monitor. Should I be using a DVI cable instead of an HDMI cable?

Hello @Caballero02
Are you using the correct port? Use the one from the graphics card, not the motherboard.
Example: yours will be similar to this photo...

what is the exact model?
product number
Example this model
HP Pavilion 790-0010nt Gaming Desktop PC Product Specifications
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB)
- Form Factor: ATX (full height) PCB with ATX dual slot bracket
- Dimensions: 11.2 cm x 17.3 cm (4.4 x 6.8 in)
- Rear I/O connectors: Dual Link DVI-D + HDMI + 3 DisplayPort
you have to connect the screen to the graphics card
Normally the motherboard ports should be hidden
Berks motherboard specifications.
- 4 DisplayPort
- 5 HDMI out
It is possible so well connected to the graphics card that it is the hdmi cable which is not correct

If it is the right HDMi port used, you have to test another cable, maybe the one used is hdmi 1.4 for example, while you need a 2.0 ( juste example )

No, it's ok !
never give the serial number on the forums
The P / N number is enough with that we easily find the model :

So, here we have a GTX 1050 card, we must check as indicated, the connection
Test what is explained here also:

watch the video
Display or Monitor is Blank (Black) after Starting the Computer
try graphique update here !
