Son finally rang...emailing me this pic....been messing with his new game and computer for 3 hours, some big problem with his (GTX1080, he couldn't remember what it is) graphics card...
Looked like rubbish, bad game settings etc.

It took me about 2 seconds to diagnose it.



Big clue in the Graphics Card bit in that game setting screenshot...

Where is the cable plugged in, I said......it's only got HDMI he said.

Nope it doesn't, it has HDMI and some DVI type, also his motherboard has an HDMI, I couldn't remember that, but guessed.

Yep, he had it plugged into the onboard.......LOL.
He's A)Happy game is going now and B)Rather pissed off he did such a thing

Its super easy to do if not paying attention. Did it myself today, Plugged in the VGA (onboard) from my KVM Switch -- Oh No change of light on Monitor --- Twit - Wrong connection, this has a graphic card LOL

Yep, lol. I've done it, although not for 3 hrs...he was annoyed he messed about for that long....He'd moved PC as he's redecorating....
