Major and very strange problem!

[pegasus17459]

Hey guys I have a major problem and was wondering if you could help me!

Ok here it goes.

My system is a win xp 1700 amd 356 ddr2100 generic motherboard...

i started my comp with a disk in the floppy and it wouldnt boot, i remembered to pull the disk out and i restarted, when the computer restarted i got a black screen with a message that said "please check signal cable" and the computer kept trying to read the floppy drive even though there was no disk in it. it just kept trying to read it and beeping over and over and over again. i reset my cmos with the jumpers, hooked in a different floppy, and a different video card and a still have the same problem!

I cant do anything since i have this black screen!!

plz any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you try a different monitor?
When you say you "hooked in a different floppy" does that mean you swapped out the drive and the new drive is still seeking the floppy disk?
Is it still beeping?

it's probably that your monitor is missing sync signal. check the pins on your signal cable (the cable that connects your monitor to computer) and see if they are broken, bent or pushed in. if everything seems fine, try plugging in a different monitor, different signal cable, etc. to verify that your video card is putting out valid signal. goodluck,

I would not even hook a floppy drive, hard drive, cdrom, etc. up. Just processor/heatsink, minimal memory, and a video card and see what happens. Motherboards can sometimes refuse too boot if something is installed incorrectly.

as amdskip proposed, boot up without any not-mandatory components and see what happens. did you say it works fine in safe mod? if yes, how the heck did you get to safe mode? either way, if everything else fails, try a different monitor, signal cable, connecters, etc. your monitor connection = problemized.
