Hi, my monitor is giving me this message "No signal recieved" any tips on what the problem might be. I know the monitor is ok so the problem might lie with the cpu
did you put in a new video card if so make sure you have the extra power cable plugged into the card
next I would see if the hard drive is working to try and rule that out
Could be a bad monitor cable or a video card problem.Make sure the cable is screwed tightto the back of the computer. If it is just plugged in you could have a bad connection.
no new video card and i've tried it with 2 diferent monitors with their own cables. Guess it's to the shop i go
Unplug the computer, open the cover, and reseat the video card (pull it out a bit, then make sure it fits snugly in its slot). If dusty, blow it out with compressed air. Someone brought me a computer just last week with the exact same symptom description (they had tried 2 monitors) and it turned out to be a loose video card. If that doesn't work and you can hear the hard drive whirring, I'd suspect the video card has gone bad, which can happen without warning.
Good luck.
ok thanks will try that
