Make sure you plug in the monitor's usb cable to a usb port on the back of the computer tower. The monitor acts as a usb hub that must be connected to the computer as well as connected to the video card. The usb connector is usually on the back of the monitor that you need to turn the monitor upside down to see. There should be 1 or 2 more usb ports there, too. The 2 on the side are additional ports. Your manual is no longer available online. Check the material you received with the computer and monitor.
