Solve : Monitor not receiving signal from computer.?

1.	Solve : Monitor not receiving signal from computer.?
Answer» Previously I had an old 80lb 22 inch monitor!! I recently decided to replace with a 20 Dell flatscreen. when I plugged in my new flat screen, I get the "No Signal From Computer" msg. I thought maybe it was because my computer is about 5 YEARS old-built by a friend and maybe the Dell Monitor needed specific drivers, etc. for it. So I replugged my old monitor in and it won't work either. I just get a loud irritating-piercing "Beep" when I try to reboot. Since I can't see anything on the monitor -I don't know what is going on. I have hooked up another older Dell Monitor I have and I get the same problem. I have checked all the montiors-hooked up to another computer and the monitors all work. Could I have a bad connector for the monitor on my computer- bad video card- bad MOTHER board? It seems strange that my old monitor was working fine-I just wanted a lighter weight flat screen and when I tried to replace-it broke!! Please help me. I am a die-hard scrapbooker and all my pictures on are my computer and I can't get to them...Thank you. When switching monitors, was the computer on?To be honest-I'm not sure-but it probably was...Does this make a difference?Since no other monitor wants to work, it looks like something happened to the video card. Is it on-board video, or dedicated card????I'm not sure what you mean- but a friend built the computer about 5 years ago and it is what he installed.Look at the back of your computer. In which area is the monitor connected? Sorry for the delay in replying-since I can't use my computer I don't check my messages elsewhere as often as I should. My monitor is connected in Area 2Then, you have real video card. Most likely, you need new card. They're cheap, and easy to replace.I have an eMachines, and have the same problem, but my monitor was installed directly to the monitor inlet on area 1. I installed a new video card (Area 2), and still get the same problem. If there are any other suggestions you, or anyone else has. Please, post them. I would like to get this thing up and running.
