No Signal To Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, No Beeps
My computer isn't very old, no more than a year, it's been working fine. No new software or hardware. I haven't moved it. This morning it wouldn't boot up properly. After clicking the button, it gave 1 long beep and 2 short ones. No signal to monitor. I didn't check keyboard or mouse. All fans appear to be working. I replugged everything to make sure nothing was loose, and turned it back on. No more beeps, still no signal to monitor. Keyboard and mouse aren't lighting up. I tried unplugging the power cord and pressing the button to clear the power. Still no beeps, no signal. All fans are still working. Any suggestions please?

Bios Beeps But No Video Signal
Computer worked fine for about 6 months. Then one day playing gta3 the monitor went blank came back again for a split second and then the computer crashed. When i re-booted i got no signal to the monitor (and therefore no bios post message) i just got 2 beeps followed quickly by another 8 beeps (10 beeps in all) and 10 or 15 seconds after the first 10 beeps i got another 2 beeps quickly followed by 1 more beep (3 beeps in all) then i got nothing else. I have tried lots of things to fix this. Firstly i booted up with only the video card and the ram attached but i still got the same beeps. When i removed the ram i got no beeps but i thought this was perhaps because ami bios is unable to boot without any ram present. Even if i booted without the video card and just the ram attached i got the same beeps. I tried using an old pci video card and i still got the no signal message on the monitor but the strange thing was when i turned the power off the monitor flashed black for a second and then returned to the no signal screen. Sometimes the monitor switches itself off completely after i turn the computer power off even though it says it is getting no signal. This was also the same for the agp card after i re-checked with it. Next thing i did was replace the 250w psu with a new 400w psu just in case there was not enough power for the p4 system but i still got the beeps. I couldn¡¦t find any information on bios beeps sequence that has a 2 -8 beeps then a 10 second pause followed by 2-1 beeps, except that such strange beeps meant that the board was damaged. I tried to contact msi support but 3 weeks later they still have not replied to my email to explain what the beeps might mean ¡k grrrrr! ƒº so, i replaced the motherboard with a new msi 845pe max2. And yes you have guessed it, it still gave these same feckin beeps. However, i didn¡¦t give up. I had earlier found some information on bios beeps but ignored it because it didn¡¦t refer exactly to the beeps i was getting but it said that 2 beeps followed by any other sequence of beeps means that the ram is defective. So i went out and spent more of my hard-earned cash on 256mb of 333mhz ddr ram. I booted up the system and again all i got was these beeps with no video signal. I also tried booting with the motherboard outside of the case to see if any of the mounting screws was causing a problem. Also, the monitor works fine when connected to my laptop. I know the last thing to do is to test my cpu but i don¡¦t know anyone with a p4 system that i can try my cpu on to see if it is working correctly. I have already spent nearly $200 on this problem and don¡¦t want to spend more money on a new processor if it is not necessary. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions as to what i can try?
Do you recognize the bios beeps i have described or can you tell something from the other information i have given?

No Video Signal And No Post Beeps At Start
I started out with a perfectly good working computer (with 2 hard drives in it), that i made myself and had no problems for 2 years. I decided to take on of the hds out and put it in another system. One of the hds had win xp on it and the other had win 2k on it. After taking out both hds and then putting back in the hd with win 2k, the computer wouldn't recognize it. It said bad disk. I switched the both drives a number of times, with the same results: the hd with xp worked fine and the one with win 2k wasn't recognized by the system. Then after a number of tries, when the hd with win 2k looked like it was finally working, all of the sudden the screen broke up into a colored rectangular pattern and went black. Since then i can't get any video signal or posting beep codes. I put both of the hds in another system and they work fine. The monitor also works fine with the other computer. So i am guessing that the order of components to swap is first the video card, then the ram, then the power supply, and last the mb. I have an iwill kk266 mb and other components that are about 2 years old. I think i might have damaged the mb a little when i was taking out the hds. I wasn't as careful as i could have been. Any other ideas?

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.

No Monitor Signal
A month ago i put together a new computer, asus a8v delux, amd athlon64 3200+, 1gb kingston ddr400(dual channel), ati radeon x800pro(agp) with a 21" dell p1130. This worked beautifully. It worked beautifully after i packed the whole thing up and went to my parents for two weeks over christmas. It didn't work when i packed it up, and came back to my place. The computer powers up and beeps once. The monitor works on another computer. No other monitor works on this computer. I have: reseated the agp graphics card, reset the system bios. The cpu and ram both feel secure, though i have not removed and reseated them yet. The sata harddrive seems fine. I don't know what else to do, and i'm very tired, so i hope one of you has an answer.

No Signal To Monitor
New pc, happily loading my software, started to set up monitor (sharp ll-t17a3 with geforce fx 256mb 9600 card) and next time i look, screen is blank. Maybe i changed a setting, but how on earth do i get in to reset it. Or is the card the problem and needs replacing? Any advise would be helpful and hope just being idiot. Have tried another monitor - same.connections all fine.

No Signal To Monitor Digital
Well what a headache this has been today, i went to reboot my system. During the post boot the monitor went into standby and displayed the message: (no signal - digital). The monitor is connected to my video card through a dvi to dvi cable and has been working for a number of months. I switched cables to a vga to vga-dvi adaptor resulting in vga to dvi. The monitor detected the signal and flashed up with "analog" in the top right of the screen.system then booted into windows. I can see in my monitor's options there is an "input" option where i can select either digital or analog. However if i select digital the screen turns black and then immediately switches back to analog (i assume because the analog signal is the only active one).could my dvi-dvi cable of died or am i missing something really simple here. How do i get my monitor back onto a dvi signal?
Equipment:
Monitor : viewsonic vx2255wm series
Video card: nvidia geforce 285
Any help or advice would be greatly received! Thank you!

Cannot Get Hd4870 To Send Signal To Monitor
I just got a vx550w corsair power supply and xfx hd4870 in the mail, i tried installing both but i cant get the card to send a signal to the monitor. I have both pcie connectors connected to the card and i made sure the card is mounted properly several times. When i turn on the computer i dont get a signal to the monitor and there is 3 red lights that appear on the card. I dont think the psu is the problem because it should be powerful enough to run the card. I got frustrated trying to get thing to work, so i tried plugging back in my old video card and connecting it to my old power supply, but now it wont work either! I tried unplugging all the hard drives and cd drives but still cant even get the motherboard boot screen to show.

No Monitor Signal With New Vid Card
I bought parts for a new system and it all installed and turned on, but no signal from monitor. Ram, hd, and video card from a old build and they worked. Have tried new vid card and new mobo and nothing. All fans start spinning and and hear system noise but no monitor signal.

Computer Not Sending Signal To Monitor
My computer suddenly stoped sending a signal to the monitor when you turn it on. It sounds like it's working but the monitor only says no signal imput and then turns off. The computer itself remains on. Any idea what may be causing this or how to fix it?

Screen Went Blue And No Signal On Monitor
I recently purchased an hdmi cable to use for my computer. As soon as i connected one end to my video card and the other end to my monitor, i went into the built in monitor settings (the dvi cable was still plugged in as well so i could do this) and switched my display to hdmi. After that, my screen went blue and i got a no signal message on the monitor. Now the problem is, i can't even revert back to my original display settings, so i can't even get anything to show on display anymore (i am using my netbook atm). I tried restarting, as well as disconnecting the hdmi cable on both ends and reconnecting dvi. Nothing. The screen stays blue and tells me theres no signal. Keep in mind that i didn't even save any settings. I simple selected hdmi and that was it. Can't see desktop, and i can't even see the bootup sequence. I am very baffled here does anybody know what i can do? The video card is a geforce gtx 295, and the monitor is a benq 2200hd.

Monitor Won't Get Signal
Some days ago, i received a new computer:
Mb: asus p4c800-e
Cpu: intel p4 3ghz
Ram: 1024mb ddr
Psu: 550w
Gfx: ati x800xt pe (sapphire)
And my problem is as follows:
When i try to power up my computer, i hear the fans start, and after like 2 sec, i can hear the hdd's getting power as well. At this point my monitor should get some signal the return from the standby mode, and show the processes before and after entering the bios. However, the monitor never gets this signal, and stays at standby mode (with the orange light on, instead of the green). I got a friend to stop by, to check if my cables were connected properly, and there were no problems concerning this. So my question is simply, what is wrong with my computer? Okay, ive tried the suggestions sofar, and none seemed to work. However i found out that if i turn on the computer, and leave it for 2 minutes, then turn it off, for 2 sec, then turning it on, makes me start the computer. However i have to setup my bios all the time. Sounds like my computer have to warm up, before i can proceed. But that sounds ridiculous. Right?
Another question regarding this :
Could hyper threating have any influence on my problem. Atm its set to ht, so if i go to bios, and adjust the power settings, (eg more power to the cpu/gfx/hdd. Whatever) should it work then?
Else if i disable ht, and reinstall winxp, would this perhaps do the trick?

No Complete Boot, No Beep, Or Monitor Signal
The symptoms for my pc are as follows:
1. Pc receives power (as indicated by fan and powersupply light)
2. Pc does not output signal to monitor (verified functioning monitor and cable). 3. Analog, laser-mouse does not receive power consistently from pc. Laser-light turns on for a fraction of a second upon connecting the mouse to the pc, but then remains off after the mouse is firmly fixed into analog mouse-port. 4. Usb, laser-mouse does receive power from pc when plugged into usb port. 5. Pc does not make any beeping sounds whatsoever upon attempted boot. My request: please advise as to what troubleshooting methods i could use. Do these clues provide any insight into what may be wrong with the pc already?

My request: please advise as to what troubleshooting methods i could use. Do these clues provide any insight into what may be wrong with the pc already?

Replaced Power Supply Now Monitor Not Getting Signal
I first looked at it and determined that the power supply was bad so i replaced it. I see the fan above the processor has started and it sounds as if the computer has started but my test monitor will not get the signal. Along with my monitor not getting the signal, it appears as if the keyboard and mouse are not getting power as well because the mouse has a light on it which comes on when it gets power. I also attached a thumb drive to the pc and it too does not get power to it. I am thinking that the board was damaged when the power supply went out but if anyone has any suggestions as to what else i should look at i would like to hear it. Btw the computer is a e-machines c2280 and not too sure what the other specs are since the computer was broken when it was brought to me.

Ati Radeon 9600 No Signal To Monitor
I've had this computer for 3 years now and haven't had a single problem with it yet. It was built by ibuypower. It came with the ati radeon 9600 already installed and worked for three solid years. I ran this computer and another computer on a kvm switch which allowed me to use one monitor keyboard and mouse for 2 computers. This also worked for quite some time before i stopped using the switch. Today, after my computer with the ati card updated windows xp, it restarted and now i can't even get it to show anything on the monitor. Everything still runs on the computer, all the leds inside the case still work, all the connections are tight, there just isn't a display on the monitor. What i've tried: i've tried rebooting into safe mode (don't understand how that could have worked because i can't see anything from the time i turn my computer on up to the time i try to reboot it) but no luck. I've tried removing the video card and cleaning the fan (fan still runs when it is in and computer is on) i've hooked up the monitor to a different computer and it worked fine, so it's not the monitor having problems. I've tried multiple restarts.

Monitor Displays Signal Cable Disconnected
My monitor displays signal cable disconnected what shall i do?
Answer:-
Have you tried plugging in your monitor to a different system unit? If by doing this solves your problem, then i would assume a graphics card problem, or maybe a contact problem of it to the main board. Then, you can try cleaning the graphic card contact. If this didn't work, you probably have a faulty card. Or you may try plugging in a known good monitor to your system unit? If after doing so resolves the problem, then the problem is on the monitor. Signal cables of monitors are the common cause of it, you may try moving the cable while connected to your pc. Replace the cable if possible.

Pc Monitor Without A Video Signal - Black Screen Bios
Upon starting my computer, it doesn't always start, it just sits with a black screen not loading the bios and the monitor claims there's no video signal. It's been like this for less than a week now consistantly. So, i'll reboot and everything is suddenly fine and the bios loads up and windows is good to go. Last week i added a gigabyte wireless card to my pc which i believe might have caused some some problems. I took the card out yesterday and i haven't seen the problem comeback so far. I'm really baffled as to why something like this would happen whether it's just the card or if something relating to my motherboard is bad, like the pci slot. The wireless card worked fine and everything. What should my next step be to figuring this out, should i put the wireless card back in? Any tests i can run to see if a component is going bad?
Computer specifications:
Msi k8ngm-v board
Athlon 64 3000+
Xfx 6600gt
2 512mb gskillz ram sticks
Audigy se soundcard
Gigabyte gn-wp01gs wireless card
Seasonic 330watt psu

Send Signal From Vga Port To Crt Monitor
I have just got a new laptop for a client (dell inspiron 6400) and we are trying to send a signal from the vga port on the back to his crt monitor. But cause the laptop screen is a widescreen when it gets to the monitor it needs adjusting, but i have to adjust everytime i reconnect the laptop! That is crazy, so just wondering if there is any other way!

Hard Drive Beeps, 2 Beeps Then Repeats
Trying to add a second harddrive, which is wd 120gb. But when i plug it in (in same place where my other 80gb hd works) the hard drive beeps, (2 beeps) and then repeats. Depending on jumper settings somtimes it will continue to load, (with beeps) havnt let it go to far, bcoz i figure beeps are tellin me somthing is wrong, and somtimes shuts down after 15 or so seconds. What shall i do? On primary socket i have os hd, and cd-rom, on secondary ide i did have 80gb, set to master i believe, which worked fine. My goal would be to have all 3 working, as i need to copy data from one to other, however i would settle for just having new 120gb working and 80gb not there install.

Hp Pavilion A375c Monitor Doesn't Receive A Signal
I'm currently trying to diagnose a problem with an hp pavilion a375c. The problem is that when i turn on the computer the monitor doesn't receive a signal, and thus there is no display. I have taken the following steps:
- I have connected the computer to another working monitor (no change). - I have taken out the video card and replaced it with one that works (no change). - I have tested the new and old video card on a different computer, and they both work. - I have disconnected and reconnected items in the pci slots (no change). The computer does turn on. I can hear the fans, i can open the drive bays, and the power light is lit. The only thing that i can figure is that there is something wrong with the motherboard, after all this computer is about 5 years old. Also, before anyone asks, i have looked at the hp pavilion website for help before i came here. So i ask you hardware guru's what could it be?

No Post Beeps
During recent use of my comp i noticed it was just shutting down. Turns out it was running hot and one of the cpu pins was cracked (how i dont know). So i bought a new cpu, plugged it in and now i get nothing. No display, no beeps nothing. I have tried the usual solutions. Video card, ram cmos, still nothing. Fans work and power is getting to the system.

Bios Beeps
I was trying to install more ram into my computer and was unsuccesful because i could not get to the motherboard. Upon putting it back together, i realized i forgot to keep track of the power supply connector for the master cd rom drive. Since it needed a 4 pin connector, i picked one at random. When i rebooted, bios sent out 3 beeps and i couldn't see anything on the screen. I was able to operate the cd-rom though. I did not remove the old memory, nor could i upgrade it. I'm not sure if i damaged it. =( But, after switching the 4 pin connector w/ another one, my computer was able to reboot. This seems strange as all of the 4 pin connectors should work. Today, it crashed and then refused to reboot at all. Now bios is giving out a 4 beep signal. For an hp pavilion, it's either the timer on the mother board or the memory. Is there anyway to figure out which it is?

8 Beeps On Startup
First time builder that's unfortunately having a lot of issues getting my new system to post at all, installing everything went relatively fine, except for the installation of the hyper 212 plus heatsink, which had the worst directions and mounting brackets, but eventually that was installed as well. However after setting everything up and plugging everything in, the system will not post, but only attempts to start up and then the error speaker starts emitting 8 second very fast beeps, after each 8 second interval it stops for a second and then continues. I've tried switching the memory, and according to my motherboard manual continuous short beeps mean a power issue or the gpu is not seated corrected?
I've checked my gpu and it's fine, and the power supply seems to be ok as the phase lights are on and the fans are running. Is there any way to check the powersupply to see if thats the issue?
My system specs are:
I7 860
Asus 5870
Gigabyte ga-p55-ud4p
G. Skill ripjaws series 4gb (2 x 2gb) 240-pin ddr3 sdram ddr3 1600
Cooler master hyper 212 plus
Corsair 850 tx
Wd cavair 640 black

Get Power, But No Post And No Beeps
I get power, but no post and no beeps. I am trying the delete key to get into the bios. The cpu fan and rear fan are running on power up. I have double checked:
Running the monitor from the upper video with the "blue" sli slot
All power connectors to the motherboard look good
The dual ez card is flipped in the right direction. I can see some of the gold teeth showing from the side that is inserted - can anyone confirm that this is ok? I did have the sata cable plugged into a raid connection and have since put in in one of the single drive sata connections. When i get home i am going to revert to a single video card for testing purposes as well as pull out the optional usb connections to the motherboard. Basically try to get it down to a bare level so at least i can hear some beeps to try and get into the bios. Please if anyone has run into something similar to this, please tell your story and how you fixed it. I am worried that there is something wrong with my motherboard if i can't get past this.
