Need help with monitor

[allielilp]

My computer was working fine yesterday. I moved it and now when I hook everything up the monitor keeps saying no signal. If I unhook the cables, it says no cable so I know that its picking up when I connect it to my desk top, just wont display anything. Ive turned computer and monitor off and on, revoke all my cables and nothing. What could this be??

It could be anything. When you say "moved", do you mean, moved the PC from one room to another? Or packed it up in a car and drove somewhere else and unpacked it and set it up?

It sounds like something got loose inside. When you power on the PC, do any fans spin, or anything light up, like the power or HDD lights? Does it make any noise at all?

If it's completely dead, did you accidentally switch off the master power switch on the back of the PSU? Something to check, at least. It should be switched to the "I" position.

system specs would be helpful. Off the top of my head, if you have a dedicated graphics card, make sure you didn't accidentally plug your cable into the onboard graphics port.

I moved it from my parents house to my apartment. I drove, but I checked all the wiring inside the window panel. Graphics card, motherboard hook ups, etc. All the fans are working properly and everything has a security connection

So, the fans on the PC spin up and keep spinning, when you turn power on? You just don't get a signal on the monitor?

I would re-seat the GPU then, sounds like it might be slightly loose. Or double-check that the video card is plugged into the proper port (if your motherboard also has onboard video). You could try swapping it too, and see if you get anything.

Edit: Might need to re-seat the RAM too.
