301502 2004-12-09 22:28:00 My computer was working fine yesterday and now it isnt. I turn it on, fans happen, lights happen, cd drive spins, NO beeps and monitor- no signal. The machine is amd athlon 2200, G4mx. smith (6523)
301503 2004-12-09 22:48:00 So the monitor is powering on but not showing any signal from PC? Obviously check the cables and check the monitor on another PC. Is this onboard video or not. I have had this happen on an older PC and the ram was faulty. I changed the ram and all was well. Berryb (654)
301504 2004-12-09 23:10:00 hardware is driving me mad. i check the cables and it doesnt work. i plug in another monitor and it works. so maybe the monitor is dead. but i plug the old monitor back in and it works as though there had never been any problems! well. there is still the issue that everytime i boot up it alternates which sound card is installed but at least im getting visuals. thanx. ineffable problem solved! smith (6523)
