Solve : moniter stopped working?

Answer»

Ok, my moniter has been working fine until I moved it and when I plugged it back in and turn  the computer back on it starts up fine, but right before the windows logon screen comes the moniter turns off.  Please Help

running winxp
moniter HP V50Does it literally "turn off", or is the power light still on, just that it doesn't show anything?  ALSO, did you only move the monitor, or did you also move the computer?  What gfx card (Integrated, AGP, or PCI and model)?  Does the monitor give you any messages when it shuts down?Ok, it does not turn off the power light changes from green to orange.  Not sure on the graphics card and yes i only did move the moniter.  No messages just goes black.Check all your cable connections.  all the cables are connected and look fineDid you disconnect any of the cables in the moving PROCESS? Check the power cord... Make sure that it is in all the way, and it is in there tight...

[GLB]Flame[/glb]All the cables are connected nice and tight.  I just took the cover off the case and made sure the vid card was nice a snug.  And still nothing.   Its weird cause it works until its about to get to the logon screen and then blank and the green power button the moniter turns orange.Ok, made a bunch of progress.  I took out my vid card and plugged the moniter into the onboard video on the motherboard and presto it came on fine.  So i guess my vid card went bad or the slot on the motherboard went bad.  How can i tell which one went bad?Now try it back in your video card.I did and had the same problem.  But did the card go bad or was it the port on the motherboard.HI Can you move the card to another PCI slot?To another slot?! In another computer?! Not without installing drivers FIRST!

[glb]Flame[/glb]No I did not try to move it to another computer.Just a thought Travis, is there anywhere in your bios to enable/disable the onboard video?
It may have got changed or gone into default mode from a flat battery or SOMETHING, just thinking out loud here.I went through the bios when this problem first happened and i did not see it anywhere in there
