Pc Monitor Screen Kept Going Blank While Using
Replies: 5 | Post Date: 24-11-2007, 02:06 PM | User: Dbuckley53 | Forums: hardwareforums.comYesterday my monitor screen kept going blank while using my pc. The fans and computer were still running and the monitor was receiving no signal. A buddy was at my place and said he had the same issue and to replace my monitor. I went and bought a new monitor came home, hooked it up and the same issue kept happening. Funny thing is, if i hook the monitor up to the motherboard monitor connector everything works correctly. So am i left to think this is a videocard and/or powersupply issue?

Dell Monitor Screen Goes Blank
I have a dell 19" monitor. Model #1907fpc. The monitor turns on for a second and i can see my desktop but then the screen goes blank. Anybody out there that can give me some advice on how to troubleshoot this issue? I want to keep this monitor as it has multiple usb ports on it. Also does anyone know how to open the monitor so i can take a look inside to see if anything came unplugged?

Monitor Screen Will Go Completely Blank For About 2 Seconds
So i got a new lcd monitor. This one , actually. It seemed like a good deal. Anyways, i think there is a problem with it. Every once in a while (about every 20 minutes), the screen will go completely blank for about 2 seconds, and then turn back on and be completely normal, and then repeat about 20 minutes later. I know its minor, but my god it gets annoying. I am using the digital output on an ati radeon 9550 256mb video card. Have any of you heard of this problem before?
Do you think that there is most likely a problem with the monitor, or possibly with the video card? This is the first time i’ve used the digital video capability before, but why would it happen roughly every 20 minutes?

Blank Blue Screen
My friend is having a problem where his comp when he boots up, goes to a blank blue scerrn. No mouse no letters no words no nothing. He has to reboot a couple times before things go as planned. He scanned for viruses using avg and for spyware using spybot but found nothing. I think that it might be a hardware problem. Any sugestions?

Screen Blank But Computer Still Running
I came back from a weekend and found my computer screen blank and my computer still running. I tried to push ctrl alt del and reset button and nothing happend. The room was pretty warm the entire weekend i was away so i think my power supply might be going. Also when i push the power buttons on my computer nothing happens either. I unplugged everything from the system including all internal cables and tried to boot up with only the main power connector to the mobo. I get no post but the cpu fan still spins and everything on the mobo looks ok.could this be a power supply issue or a case issue or something im missing. Im in need of so much help! I also smelt a slightly burning/funky smell also in the case that i dont think ive smelled before.

Blank Screen On Opening Games
Everytime i try to open unreal tournament 3 or neverwinter nights 2 i get a blank screen. I can see my mouse and move around the screen. But i can only move it within a smaller invisible "window" within the black screen. I have to press ctrl-alt-del to get out and it gives me a message about it being non-responsive and asks me if i want to close the window. When i tell it to close the window a similar message shows up and i click close again. In dxdiag, there are no tests available and doesn't give me any options to enable/disable dx. I've tried disabling aa in the control panel but it had no effect. Specs:
Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit version 7100 release candidate
Dfi 790fxb motherboard
Amd phenom ii 955
4 gbs ddr3 ram
Gtx 260 gpu - driver version 195. 62

Windows 7 Pc Crashes To Blank Screen
The pc will randomly every day or two just go to a blank screen (as in no video output, the pc is still powered on but no output). I had tried reinstalling windows 7, running windows update, and installing only the video card driver. I had run hci memtest before and it didn't find any errors. What should i be looking at?
I7 860 + asus p7p55d pro + 8gb g. Skill ddr3-1333 c7 + 5870.

Geforce Fx 5200 Blank Screen
I received my new graphic card today 'inno3d tornado geforce fx 5200 ddr 256mb'. I tried to install it on the computer spec below. When i installed the graphic card into the motherboard and turned the pc on , i got blank screen with monitor plugged into the graphic card's[img]sasa[/img] vga slot. I tried disabling the integrated graphics driver but that didn't help. The graphic card is agp 4x/8x compatible and my motherboard has 8x agp slot but i thing the card is capable on running with 2x/4x or 8x so that is not the problem. The motherboard is only compatible with gap card requires 1. 5 v but i think this card is also 1. 5v. One another think that this graphic card has connector located at bottom left corner but i don't know whether i need to connect a cable there or not.configurations:-
1. 7ghz intel celeron
512mb ram
350w power supply
Integrated graphics
Windows xp

Delayed Blank Screen On Boot Up
I just got an aiw x800 xt, upgrading from a 9800 pro, and the screen goes blank on boot up. It's not always at the same time. Sometimes i can go into my bios and wait around for the display to go blank, and other times i can almost get into windows. Actually, i did start to see the blue background in windows one time before the display went out. And when it goes blank, i can't simply push reset and have the display come back. I have to turn the power completely off and then back on in order for the display to work for a little while. I have an asus a7n8x deluxe motherboard. My power supply came with my case, which is an antec performance something or another case. The power supply is a true power 450 or 480, i can't remember. I'll try to get more detailed specs, but if anyone has any idea of what could cause the display to just give out like it's doing well, it would definitely help me out a lot.

Hp Pavilion Xt858 No Beeps Screen Blank
This computer was booting properly a few days ago. It would bott to windows and then lock up a few minutes later. I powered it on and off so many times, i'm wandering if it was damaged. I get no beeps, the keyboard lights for a second and than goes off. I have tried a seperate pci graphics card and that brought up the hp screen for a second. That was the last i ever saw of it! I have tried booting without the hard drive to get me into dos. I can't even get into dos with a boot disk. There is no cursor on the screen. The fan is running on the cpu. The memory is correct. I have reset the bios jumper and reset the cmos battery. Nothing is working. Hp's site is terrible.

Compaq Presario Sr1320nx Screen Blank
I opened up my computer to clean it out with a can of compressed air, then i closed it up and connected my screen. I hear the computer turn on, and the green light comes on too, but the screen doesn't want to connect to the computer, it just stays blank. I tried two different monitors and neither worked.

Blank Screen Problem With Video Card
Im totally sick of trying to put this new graphics card in my computer. I know that the card is completely compatible with my computer so i uninstalled all the old drivers off my previous card, took it out, put the new one in, downloaded the correct new driver off the nvidia website, then i had to restart my computer. When it restated everything was fine until the welcome screen. Where it went completely black. I clicked around with the mouse (even though i couldn't see sh*t!) And i heard the noise it makes when i log in to my account thingy. So it isn't totally broke. I just cant see anything. Everything is black! Lol. So i took the card out (which was suspiciously warm to touch) and did a system restore to yesterday too fool my silly computer that nothing had happened. What could be the problem? Any ideas?
Someone said to just give it time and then the screen will come back. Is this true cuz i don't want to go through all that again for nothing.

Dell Inspiron 8600 Suddenly Has A Blank Screen
My problem is that my dell inspiron 8600, which has work for over 3 years suddenly has a blank screen. For the last month or so when ever the laptop goes into standby / monitor turns off and then turns on again there was always a brief period where the screen is red. Just yestarday the scren would not even turn on. The system was still running, but no screen. Then last night the screen started to work again for about 2 hrs. Then it automatically started to turn the screen off. I lower the screen for a few seconds and then lift it again the screen comes back on. Afterwards if i am inactive for only ~10 seconds the screen turns back off, its not the screen saver. Now when i try lowering and lifting it again this morning the screen flickers on for just a second with a red screen and turns off. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong.

Ati Radeon 9700 Pro Blank Screen
My problem is this: occasionally my screen is blank after coming up from sleep-mode or restart. This also happens after playing half-life 2 and doom 3. Sometimes after a minute or so, the screen will come on fine and sometimes it is blank for a very long time. Things that i have done to solve the problem include unplugging, then reconnecting the dvi cable and, just this morning, updating to the catalyst 5. 1 drivers. Nothing seems to be working . . . On another note, after installing the 5. 1 catalyst control center, restarting my computer and loading the program gives the following error:
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on ok to terminate the application. "I have uninstalled all ati programs and drivers off of the computer and re-installed with no apparent luck. I'm a little upset that i can't fix this issue and hoping that someone out there knows what the *** is going on and could offer some advice! My computer set-up is as follows:
Dell 8200
Ati radeon 9700 pro
Lg 19" flatron lcd monitor
796 mb ram

Computer Monitor Suddenly Went Blank
I was working on my computer when the monitor suddenly went black. Nothing seemed to be different in the tower; there were no sound changes, no light changes. The monitor's power light stayed on. I recently acquired another computer and monitor from a friend and decided to hook both monitors to both towers to troubleshoot. Both monitors work fine when hooked up to the second computer, and both monitors stay blank when connected to the first computer. So, the problem has to be in the tower. What sort of problem does it sound like i have? What should my next step be? The only spec i have for the machine, since i can't access the hard drive, is that it's running xp.

I was working on my computer when the monitor suddenly went black. Nothing seemed to be different in the tower; there were no sound changes, no light changes. The monitor's power light stayed on. I recently acquired another computer and monitor from a friend and decided to hook both monitors to both towers to troubleshoot. Both monitors work fine when hooked up to the second computer, and both monitors stay blank when connected to the first computer. So, the problem has to be in the tower. What sort of problem does it sound like i have? What should my next step be? The only spec i have for the machine, since i can't access the hard drive, is that it's running xp.

Blank Monitor After Frozen State
Usually after several minutes or about 5 minutes of computer use time my computer freezes up. After this i reset the computer and wait for it to boot up but instead, when the computer starts up (like the power starts on) there's no display on the monitor. It's plain black. I turn it on and off and on and off and about after 10-20 mins it starts up normally again. I usually got an error sometimes after it froze saying something about my intel graphics driver. I looked around the forum saying it could be the motherboard or a bad cpu but currently right now i don't have the type of cash that would be enough to make repairs. I want to figure out what the problem is besides the mobo since mobo's are not exactly cheap. (Attached is what cpuz read)

5850 Problem - Monitor Goes Blank
I recently upgraded to an asus 5850 hd and i'm having one annoying problem with it. Even though i have all my games set to the same desktop and refresh rate as my monitor (1920x1080 60hz), when the game loads or whenever i alt tab, the monitor goes blank and takes a few seconds before popping back on, just like it would do if i was changing resolutions. It never did this with my old video card (8800 gt) and i've also tested 2 different monitors. Any idea what's going on here?
Running the catalyst 9. 11s and win7 64bit. Edit: after further testing it seems that dragon age can alt tab without the monitor blanking out even though it's apparently set to the same settings as the other games. Wow and crysis act like res is changing when alt tabbing though.

Monitor Goes Blank - Mode Not Supported
When i boot up my computer during the boot process my monitor goes blank and displays "mode not supported, 36hz. Etc" something like that. Anyone know anything might cause this, its a flat screen mag i believe". It does this for most of the boot process and then when it comes to logging in, it shows back up and everything is fine. Edit: would going to windows property/advance/monitor and changing the refresh rate to 60hz. Would that help this issue? I cant test this now seeing that i'm at work.

Computer Not Booting, Monitor Blank, No Beeps
I having trouble booting my computer, when i turn on my computer there no beeps, the monitor is blank, all the fans are running at full power, the power and hdd led are both on, my dvd-rw has power but my dvd-rom does not (the dvd-rom is new got it two days ago), optical mouse light up, no light on the keyboard, all the hardware looks fine, i took every thing out of the motherboard blow out dust then put the cpu, memory and video card back on and try booting it and the same thing happens no beeps and blank screen. I then reconnect every but did not connect the ide cable to the dvd-rom and try booting it and the same thing happens but this time the dvd-rom has power. I’m not sure if it’s the motherboard, the power supply, the cpu or the memory.

Screen Goes Blank, Fans Slow Down, Hard Cd Drive Makes Strange Noises
My custom built pc recently started to act strangely. Sometimes when in normal use, the screen goes blank; fans slow down; hard cd drive makes strange noises. This usually happens then when i try to restart, the computer does even start up, just does it again. Because this happens almost instantly when i turn it on, i don't think its the ram, drives or graphics card. I suspect its my motherboard that causing this.computer specifications:
Msi k7n2 delta-l
Athlon 2700 t/bred b
Geforcefx 5900
Seagate barracuda 7200. 7
Lg gce
