Thanks Buttersoft, I hadn't thought about Sunnywala using a DVI-VGA adapter. If so, that is likely the problem.
Your VGA breakout supplies separate H (pin 13) + V (pin 14) sync to the monitor.
However, if you are using a passive DVI-I to VGA adapter (assuming it is like mine), it only supplies sync to VGA pin 13 (H sync) and has no connection whatsoever to VGA pin 14 (V sync). It does nothing to separate or combine sync. The DVI-I head on your video card has only one pin for sync, which is composite.
This means that your monitor is getting no vertical sync signal, which would explain no picture.
A possible solution, by far the easiest, is to connect the H + V pins on the monitor's video connector. Use a small piece of stiff wire 1-2cm long, bend it into a tight U shape and insert it into the back of your video connector, so that it makes a good connection between H+V sync pins. If you don't have any suitable wire, try making it from a paperclip! Use a small pair of pliers to make it easier. Your sync inputs are the two sitting together at the top of the pic. Test the connectivity with your multimeter on "diode" test setting.
Why would this work? Your monitor is most likely clever enough to work out the H & V sync components from the combined signal as the H&V sync pulses are flagged, distinct and occur at separate times.
If you don't have a multimeter, I suggest you get one at your local hardware or electronics store. Cheap one should be around $10 or so. Ask the staff to show you how to use it to test connectivity (or read instructions, or go on YT).
Let's see how the above idea goes first. Otherwise you may need to buy some kind of sync separator, which sounds like a hassle and expensive (or make one yourself!).
[EDIT]
PS - I notice that the sync wires to your video connector are being pulled very tight - would be best to give the wires a little slack.
