How has this problem occured? What have you done before it stopped responding? What hardware is installed? Quote Give us all the information that seems relevant. You failed to. Do so now.theres no beeping sounds, no virus protection at the moment, windows xp, i don't have any recovery cds, and i've made no recent changes. the problem occured when i RESTARTED my computer...the monitor stayed blank with the self check thingy on. other than that the computer seemed to run fine. the fans work, cd drives work. i was told that the problem is probably with my motherboard, is that at all possible? by the way its a p4 2.4 ghz, msi mainboard P4MAM series. the only hardware installed is my 2 cd drives, harddrive and disk driveHave you checked the hardware for burnmarks? Try reseating cables and hardware. I would also test the PSU on another computer to SEE if it still functions.there's no burn marks that i can see. i tried the power supply on another computer and when i first started it up it made a long beep sound and the monitor wouldnt turn on. then i turned the computer off then back on and it worked fine.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q155053/that doesnt seem to help merlin...the problem is that its like the computer doesnt RECOGNIZE the monitor. as soon as i boot up the computer the screen is blank and stays blank Quote there's no burn marks that i can see. i tried the power supply on another computer and when i first started it up it made a long beep sound and the monitor wouldnt turn on. then i turned the computer off then back on and it worked fine. What type of PSU is installed?its a deep electronic 300 wWhat type of hardware is installed? Is it possible to test this computer by using a more powerful PSU?plug the monitor serial plug in and wiggle the cable....the serial port MAYBE worn...........or damaged.ill have to borrow a more powerful power supply...and wiggling the cable didnt do anything |
