^ Keep in mind its VGA onboard graphics going to an LCD monitor, but I had another thought since our aim conversation: If you have an old PCI grahpics card that naturally supports LCD and VGA you could narrow your problem down.

Is the vidcard seated properly? I had that same problem with Navi, and it turned out that the "toolless" PCI bracket had come loose and the weight of the card loosened it in the slot just enough so that I wasn't getting a signal.
