Then I'm guessing you either have an onboard video chip (which I thought would show up) or your video card is dead or loose. I'd suggest you open the computer and see if there is a video card (the monitor will be plugged into it). If so, make sure it's firmly seated. While you're there, see if you can see the make / model of it.

Is there any hope on computer hope??

What does this mean ? ?
Keep in mind we cannot see the machine from here.

checked it. took it out, put it back in. still here, same problem. please don't give me a hard time. this comp. was put together with parts and boards from old comp.'s. i didn't install any of the software, i just put it together with this guy's guidance who's in a wheelchair. he's a computer geek and used to repair these thing's. i just wanted some help.

Is somebody giving you a hard time? If anything, I think we've been extremely patient (okay, Mulreay was trying to be cute, but not intentionally rude). When you had the card out did you look to see what make & model it was?

[jaxstarke]

no offense to anyone and what-not, it's just that i find this way of doing things very time-consuming and not very helpful. as I said before, I'm not very comp. savvy and never really expect to be. i just was hoping someone could help me thru a step-by-step way of fixing my problem. i realize that MY computer isn't right in front of you, so it's hard to diagnose and fix problem's. thank's for your help but i think i'll just set this thing out for the garbage-man to pick up next week. or maybe i'll just stick to playing solitaire. blah

no names on the board. a sticker on it says PT-E9, ICT-E9-4, FQC-F9. the two chips on it say NYNiX, and it says GIGABYTE GV-N52128DS near the back.

Another way is to open display properties and then advanced and then adapter. While there, look at 'list all modes'. Try changing a mode with other refresh rate.
