VGA monitor not getting signal, yet comp is still running.

[matthews1892]

hi, this is my first post here and i have alot of computer knowledge.

i was on my computer last night and it was all fine, i started my computer today and it starts but the monitor does not turn on, the monitor power light is normally yellow (standby) and blue (on). now when i start my computer the computer starts and does not repeat, it starts normally with a singular regular bleep. and the monitor goes to blue with nothing showing on the screen, then changes to standby again. i have  changed any hardware whatsoever it just happened!

i am running xp pro with 1gb ram (2 x 512) a nvidia geforce 7600 gs (pci express, vga output)

thanks in advance,

regards
anthony

can you boot in safe mode?

Did you try your monitor on another computer, or working monitor on said computer?

[matthews1892]

no, because i dont see anything on the monitor, it flashes on for around 1sec as soon as you start the pc. it is not the monitor, i tried it on a seperate computer

then i suspect a faulty video card. you may wish to purchase a new one, or borrow someones to see if that solves the issue.

it is not the monitor, i tried it on a seperate computer
