No Signal Monitor

[Vonn]

Alright I have looked everywhere and my husband and I are pretty stumped.
The problem we are having is when we turn on the computer it does not show on the monitor says no signal.  Tried hooking up to a new monitor same thing so we figured a video card.  Tried that and still same result.  He tried replacing the motherboard and processor and still no progress.  We hooked up my monitor to his computer and it does work.  So I am guessing its something to do with my desktop.  Last possible thing I can think of is memory? ram?
Any ideas?

What OS do you have?
Did you try using your cable at the other monitor?

I use just Windows Xp and it was a built computer have never had problems in the past till now.  I tried the cables with the other computer and it works just fine on that one 
So his monitor doesnt work on my computer nor does my monitor but my monitor works on his

And you changed the video card?
Well that is strange. I would ask you to update the driver but that is a bit hard without screen.
Well I think you could try removing that last RAM you putted in but....

Still no luck with that.  I gave that a shot and still does the same thing.  LOL talk about frustrating but glad we have 2 computers.  Still want to see what it is tho

Try to remove any unneeded hardware.
And put them back one by one.

Well, if you replaced all of that hardware and there was no improvement, try swapping the HDD into you hubby's computer. If you get no monitor signal, congratulations. it's software... or not... If I'm right about that, try setting the drive as secondary or slave in his PC and repair install windows.

My bad- don't do this. I just got geek-served.

[Jonas Wauters]

Well that looks like a easier solution. (sounds but it isn't!)
But as you don't know what the problem is it could be software and it could be hardware.

I will give it a shot have to wait for him tho lol if i mess his stuff up he wont be happy.  Also I JUST put a new copy of windows on this so really hope thats not the problem, tho to my knowledge its the 3rd reinstall on this computer  
Thank you all and we will see what happens.
One other thing, even with my computer turned on it doesnt show in his network

Ok than the chances are big that it is the software.
So don't remove that hardware unless you want to spend all that time just for that little chance.

a other thing you could try is:
Boot the computer and wait for 3 min.
than press the |<- key twice and enter the PW of the first user.
                     ->|
turn on the volume and listen if you hear the welcome sound.

That also depends on whether the network is wired or wireless. If it's wireless, odds are that every other boot the network will go down, or stop recognizing a computer, or change it's own WEP key, or take down small aircraft, etc.

This is really bad advice for a HDD that has XP on it.

It's not meant to be swapped around from one machine to another much less perform a repair install on a different machine...

Think before hitting the Post button.

[Jonas Wauters]

It did sound like there was something wrong with that info.
But my knowledge is to small to doubt others there solution.
So what would you suggest Patio?
