    Monitor issue. Doing my head in.
    « on: January 07, 2017, 06:20:15 PM »
    Hi guys.
    I recently had to move my pc to another room. When I plugged in the monitor it failed to find signal. I have a viewmaster va 2703 led. It was connected via the dvi cable. I have tried the monitor with only dvi cable, only d sub cable and with both cables connected. I am so disappointed that I am running into issues. Any help would be appreciated.  Btw I have tried the cables turning sytem off and on trying to assist the monitor to pick up signal. I turn monitor off and then on and it lights blue and says no signal then soon goes to amber and I curse and turn pc off again. Thanks for reading guys.

    I'd remove all power...then remove and re-seat the vid card

      I have tried removing power and keeping it off for 5 mins. I have not tried ram sticks or vid card. Thanks for response.

        Removing ram one by one seems to have worked.  Thank you Patio.

        This wasn't really a monitor issue, it was a PC issue. where RAM got dislodged during a move, causing the PC to fail to boot.
