Monitors

[themuser]

Evertime I turn on my computer, the monitor screen says "No Signal" I have tried various things to fix this problem such as plugging and unplugging the monitor, changing monitor screens. Nothing seems to work. If anyone could give me hints, I would be grateful! Thanks!!

No Signal means that the monitor is not receiving a signal from the computer. The monitor is working fine or you wouldn't see the message. Possible casues:

- The computer is not POSTing (your fans and lights might be coming on but it's not doing anything else)

- Your monitor cable is disconnected or broken

- Your video card is bad
