zeroxxxskull · 05-11-2006, 02:51 PM

I yesterday I was on my computer and all the suden the video went out the computer was still on but no video on my monitor. I restarted and it worked again for awile. Latter that night it happend again this time when I restarted there was no picture again. I turned it off and left it off over night. When I turned it back on this morning, it seemed like it was going to work again but right after the Windows boot screen came up it turned off again. I tried my monitor on another computer and it work, so its not the monitor. I tried puting my ram in other slots, because i have duel ram, and it worked again, It booted passed the windows boot screen and strated up fine, then he video went out again. Very frustraiting. Help would be great. Thanks

Hi and Welcome to TSF

Theres a place to start, also make sure the connections are secure in both areas (to computer and from monitor)

zeroxxxskull · 05-11-2006, 03:22 PM

still nothing

You eliminated the monitor so I would next replace the video card.
Can you successfully boot into Safe Mode? (tapping F8 at boot)

zeroxxxskull · 05-11-2006, 03:35 PM

Nothing still comes up

Geekgirl · 05-11-2006, 03:44 PM

You have changed the video card and nothing comes up or you booted into Safe Mode and nothing comes up? Help me out here please

zeroxxxskull · 05-11-2006, 03:47 PM

I tried safe mode.

This happend about three weeks ago. and I took it to a computer store and the guy reseated every thing and it worked again. Now its stoped working again.

Its possible the card has gone bad, it happens all of the sudden. Of course you have been having issues with the video so I would have expected it.
Replace the card and if your still having issues post back, we will look elsewhere. We need to rule this out before we start looking for other failing hardware.

I Tested my card in another computer and it works fine.

Disconnect your cd roms and remove all other adapter cards and try booting.
If successful add each compnent 1 at a time booting in between.
