Solve : Monitor works until connected to pc, then shuts off.?

Answer»

Hi there.
I'd really appreciate some help with this.
I've been given a custom BUILT pc through a friend of a friend. I was told there may be a virus on it so I intended to FORMAT the hard drive.
However, whenever I connect it to a monitor it immediately puts the monitor to sleep.
I've tried three monitors that work on other machines.
The monitor will stay on with the 'no signal' message until I plug it into the PC and then just goes off.
I've disconnected the hard drive and attempted the same thing but it STILL TURNS off. Could it be a virus that's TRANSFERRED to the RAM? I'm puzzled.
As I haven't been able to get any display, I am unable to post specs.Onboard graphics or addon vid card > >
Sounds like either one it is has gone South...You might try starting in safe mode to see if the graphics resolution is to high for all 3 monitors. Just an idea.  It was the video card causing the problem. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. No problem, come back any time at all.
