This morning I turned my computer on, and when I did, my monitor refused to get out of power save mode. Its like no signal is being sent to the monitor, but it still says that it is plugged in.
I was OCing my AXIA Tbird last night. it is a stock 1000 and it is running at 1.33 w/ a 140 FBS and a 9.5 multiplier. But it ran 45 minutes of Prime95 and then it went through 3DMark 2001 without a problem.
It seemed to run fine, my temps were ok (53 full load) and I restarted it several times,
my question is, what could be causing this.
I was thinking that it could be a power supply issue, so i unplugged my 2nd HD and my CD-RW, still no Dice.

I am running an IWill KK266
AXIA Tbird
2x 128 MB Mosel Vitalic Ram
Geforce 2 MX(ASUS)
SB live Platinum
linksys NIC (forgot model number)
Premier 300 Watt
I have tried taking out the linksys, I have taken out the Geforce 2 and then put it back in. I have tried puting in a PCI video card with the geforce(will try putting it back in, without the geforce, after I get back from work).
Does anybody have any idea.
When I turn it on, all the fans start spinning, there is a beep, and the green light is on, its just there is no video.
I'm thinking that it might be my motherboard?
Help would be apreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Try clearing the CMOS on the mobo if you haven't tried that already. If it works, then enter the bios and input your settings and options.

If you are in South Florida, lightning may have gotten you. If you had a phone line plugged into your modem, even if your system was off, a power surge can enter your modem and take out the motherboard. Remember with the new boards, shutting down the system does not kill all power in the motherboard. I work as a tech in South Florida and now is storm season, lots of machine come in like yours, burnt chips on the modem and a motherboard that will not post or produce video.

No, I live in NC and I am not on a modem. I am on cable, which goes through my cable modem, into my linksys router and then to my computer. I think that these would be fried too if lighning hit them Thanks for the reply though,
Mike
