I recently bought a used custom computer here are the specs:

Motherboard is Asus A7n8x-x (win XP)
CPU is AMD XP 2500+With custom copper heatsink
Video Card is a Nividia FX5200
Just bought 2GB of RAM (PC2700)

I also bought a used Dell monitor and when I hooked up the monitor to my pc tower the monitor displays "In Power Save mode move the mouse or press the keyboard to continue". But when I move my mouse or press a keyboard key nothing happens. Dont think its the monitor because it worked before i bought it. what can i do to GET my keyboard working to get out of power savemode ?Good evening flex101 and welcome to CH

OK when you START the tower by the power button do you see 1 steady on light and 1 that blinking? But the PC or monitor ran before you brought it home than check the monitor CABLE. I CHECKED Asus web site and if the MoBo # is correct it does not have built in video. But the video card may have 2 ports on the card try plugging it into the other monitor plug.

Do you get hear any beeps. Or are you not getting any power light on the front of the PC?

Hope to hear from you soon, Mike
