My dell optiplex gx270 can not display to a monitor

Try disabling on board video card in BIOS.

1. Check out display and its cables and make sure that its working fine.
2. Ensure that RAM is fine
3. If it is the faulty on-board VGA, then u may consider adding additional AGP card to get display

For the Dell Optiplex GX270, you will utilize the Windows operating system default optical driver files.

Just physically connect your device and reboot your machine, the OS will pickup and automaticlly configure your device.

Hmm. This appears to be driver related?

you need to go to the dell website and download and install the correct video driver for the GX270

If you are not getting display for your Dell Optiplex GX 270, the issue may be one of three possible causes:

* The VGA cable connection between the Dell PC and the monitor, may not be seated in the VGA port correctly. To resolve this, just make sure the VGA cable is seated completely in the VGA port of the Dell computer and that also the Power cord from the monitor to the power source (i.e wall socket, power strip, surge protector, etc.) is seated securely.

* There may be an issue with the Video card in the Dell PC

* Or there may be an issue with the motherboard for this model of Dell.

it is the problem of resolution use higher graphic end monitor lower down to the resolution like 1024x786 pixels and then connect it to your Dell OptiPlex GX270 PC Desktop

What are the symptoms?

it will work

A Dell Optiplex GX270 can have either on on-board VGA integrated graphics controller or an expansion graphics controller. If an expansion card is installed, the onboard graphics is disabled.

So first, ensure that the VGA cable is connected to the correct graphics connection (If there is an expansion slot with a video connector, ten you must use that connection)

If connected to the correct port on the system, next ensure that the input select for the monitor is either set to autoselect or ANALOG

Last ensure that the display resolution of the graphics adapter will support the new monitor.
