Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop Computer (790-0068)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I got my new computer (a gaming desktop) yesterday. I've had laptops before, but this is my first desktop computer. I also got a new monitor yesterday as well. My problem is that my monitor will not recognize my computer. I tried connecting it to my set top box as well as my Fire TV, and they both worked. But when I try connecting it to my computer, I get nothing but a "No Signal" message. I even tried connecting the computer to my 55' HDTV, and that didn't work either. I do have the keyboard and mouse plugged into the usb ports on the back of the computer. I also have the monitor's HDMI cable plugged into the only open HDMI port on the back of the computer as well. There is another HDMI port near the top that I tried to use first before I realised it was blocked off with some kind of black object inside of it. I hope I didn't accidentally push it further inside. When I press the power button on the computer, it does light up, and I hear the beeping  and the fans. Just nothing on the screen.  My computer is an HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i5 8400 (790-0068) with  a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card - Windows 10 Home. My monitor is an LG 29UM59A (UltraWide). 

 

I just hate that I spent $1,200 on this setup, and can't even use it. If anyone can help me out, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.
