The message “No source signal” appears as an overlay at the start of a PCoIP session to indicate no video source.
There are three common causes for seeing this message in a host card environment:
- Cabling
- To troubleshoot, first check the DVI connection between the GPU and the
PCoIP host card. If the cable(s) appears to be connected properly,
confirm that there is a video output by connecting the DVI port of a
monitor directly to the GPU’s DVI output port. In order for this
diagnostic step to be valid, you must not use any adapters (ie:
DVI-to-VGA) between the GPU and monitor.
Note: PCoIP host cards support DVI inputs only. They don’t support VGA
inputs, but can support VGA signals through DVI-I connectors. While host
cards support DVI input only, VGA can still be supported on the client.
See client product specifications to determine if VGA output is
supported.

- Software settings
This message may appear for a few minutes when the host PC/workstation
OS turns off the monitor due to power management settings, screen saver
timeout, or monitor shut down settings. The overlay appears shortly
after the monitor is turned off and remains active for a couple minutes
before it is eventually removed at which time the monitor is turned off.
- No OS installed on the host
This message will appear if there is no operating system installed on the host PC.
