Answer» Computer boots up normally, but the monitor shows no signal. Yes, the cables are connected correctly and my video card is installed correctly.

It was working fine for the past couple years and then just Friday it died on me. I KNOW it's the computer because I've tested the monitor on a different computer and it worked. I also plugged the computer into a monitor that works, but it did not display. I've also tried plugging the monitor into the old port with my integrated graphics card. It still does not work. Perhaps something is not connected correctly internally? The power supply recently died, which I had to replace and it works now. Except, there is "no signal" on the monitor. May be something with the power supply? Shouldn't be though... I've gotten replies on other forums about TRYING 1GB RAM, removing graphics card and using integrated, computer beeps (there are none). My graphics card does not seem DAMAGED; the capacitor does not look blown. Maybe the computer simply is not booting up? I don't know how to tell though. Any ideas?When you replaced the power supply, you may have gotten something wrong. Did it work at all after your replaced the PSU?No, but it didn't work before. Like on Friday it stopped working and would turn off before even booting up, with nothing showing on the monitor. It didn't work after, obviously. My uncle says something with the jumpers so he's gonna take a look at it tomorrow.

Computer boots up normally, but the monitor shows no signal. Yes, the cables are connected correctly and my video card is installed correctly. My computer just randomly STOPPED displaying anything a couple days ago. I've had it for a while so I don't know why it's doing this now.

It's a rather crappy PC but it runs well. Specs:

GQ 7000
Windows XP Pro Media Center 2005 SP3
3.01 GHz
2GB RAM
80GB HD
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 256MB

Don't know what else to list. It just happened all of a sudden. It was working fine for the past couple years and then just Friday it died on me.

I KNOW it's the computer because I've tested the monitor on a different computer and it worked. I also plugged the computer into a monitor that works, but it did not display.

I've also tried plugging the monitor into the old port with my integrated graphics card. It still does not work. Perhaps something is not connected correctly internally?
