Answer» Hi there, When I boot up there is no DISPLAY(CRT monitor), no beep. But I can hear the computer running, if I manually restart a few times the monitor "kicks in" and everything seems to work fine... any ideas?? I have an intel P4 2.80 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM an an inbuilt video card -( Intel(R) 82915G Express Chipset Family?) I have checked all the connections - they are fine Any assistance much appreciatedwhen you manually restart, do you ever hear a beep?No, there is no beep,Any hardware / software changes recently? Any DRIVER upgrades? Did it ever work? If so, what changed?
No beeps indicates a low-level hardware issue, RAM, motherboard, power supply, hard DRIVE.
[highlight]But I can hear the computer running...[/highlight] What do you hear, fans, hard drive SPINNING up, lights on the keyboard lit momentarily?
Alan <>< Yeah, it worked fine before, no recent changes,h/ware or s/ware, the only thing that changed was when i tried to boot up I could hear the fans and hard drive going, lights momentarily on the keyboard , but nothing after that, no display on the monitor, and I am not sure if it boots to XP.
Seems to work fine after a few restarts, everything is normal, but sounds like something is on its way out...Try a different monitor.
