    no display (not like other problem here)
    « on: March 18, 2012, 08:22:50 AM »
    before it happened there was a loading (before windows xp logo display)
    after that the screen went black (the windows xp logo havent shown)

    specs : amd 3.2ghz
                2 gig ram
                built in video card

    scenario: no display
                   everytime i power on the monitor says "no signal chek blablabla..."
                   force shutdown disabled (cannot turn it off using power button)
                   green led at the front blink once after that led turns off (were usually on and standby when its working fine)
                   
    heres the list what i did.

    1.) restarted it using button (still no display in the monitor is says no signal)
    2.) used the monitor to another CSU (the monitor is working)
    3.) unplug the run ram, cleaned it, put it back (nothing happens when i turned it on)
    4.) change  the power supply (still nothing happened)
    5.) turned on using other working ram (still no display)
    5.) turned on without ram (still nothing happend)

    please help me... i really need your help

      Sounds like the video card.  If you have access to a video card that you can install temporarily to test that theory that is the way i would go.Without being able to see anything it is difficult (if not impossible) to check anything else. truenorth

          Yes you will require software for the specific video card you install. However i would suspect that your installed windows version should have basic drivers to get you going with a replacement card. I am suggesting  that if you have access to one you can use temporarily then before going out to purchase one we can see if that does solve the lack of video on your system. Of course this will  involve you opening up the interior of the computer to do this. But that is usually very easy and just be sure the power to the computer ( from the wall or the rear of the tower ) is removed. Before going into the interior touch the case to ensure any discharge of static electricity is removed.Depending on what card slots are available usually a PCI or PCI-e slot will be available to in stall the card in. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. truenorth

          Press F8 before Windows loads and selects "VGA mode" does that help?

                this problem seems to be a mokor outbreak in computers especially desktops
                its goes blank
                i have changed the VGA, virtually everything i just think its common for computers that are produced earlier than 2002
                please any solution to should be posted thanks

                  What does this mean?
                  "i'm sorry but after that loading it never showed up again even i restarted it over and over"
                  Is the problem gone? truenorth
