i have a 19" LCD MONITOR and iv been using DVI input from my graphic card all the time and its been working fine.

The problem is i have this other computer which does not have a graphics card at all so i am forced to use the on board analog (vga), and my lcd supports dvi and vga and it also has cables for it, so iv set up everything correctly but when i turn on the LCD, a LITTLE box appears in top left corner and it says "DIGITAL" "ANALOG" and it keeps switching back n forth (its finding out the configuration) after that it goes on analog my screen is all black and my start button on my lcd is just blinking.. i have also tried it on digital which does not work either.. but when i try it on my own pc and i connect it to the graphic card (vga) everything works fine.

o and it used to work fine on a CRT monitor.

any suggestions, solutions? would be appreciated

thanks.Check the BIOS settings to see if the onboard video has been disabled.how do i check bios settings when my screen is all black? i cant view anything just the light blinking..dot2...

1) First check the monitor's cable connections on the back of the monitor...as well as the connection to the back of your PC.
2) If you are still having the issue and can't see the screen, once you boot into BIOS, you may need to install a graphics card in the computer you are having the issue with.
3) Once the graphics card is installed, connect your monitor to it and boot into BIOS.
4) Check your BIOS settings and make sure the onboard video is enabled...save your settings and exit.
5) Turn off your computer...disconnect all cables...remove the installed graphics card...reconnect cables...plug your monitor into the onboard graphics connection...turn your computer on.

Please post your results...I have not done the fallowing PROCEDURE ^
but some more stuff i found out is its not a monitor issue, when i start the computer everything runs fine but i hear no beep sound and before i used to hear it and monitor worked fine. i have switched the rams and i still don't get any beep could it be a dead cpu?

please help : [What type of RAM did you switch ? ?
There are many types and using the wrong ones will prevent a machine from BOOTING properly.by switch i mean i just used one ram that came with the machine then i tried the other stick to see if it works but still nothing?

maybe i need a pci express graphics card?Quote from: dot2 on August 20, 2007, 08:01:36 PM
