Monitor shuts off when I

Triple_GGG · 11-24-2008, 10:54 PM

My monitor would not come on,would be in sleep mode. So I reattached all the connections. I turned the monitor on and get the connection signal on the monitor with the colored box.

The problem is when I attach the cable to the computer video card outlet the monitor goes into sleep mode. I have removed the PCI video card and reinstalled same situation.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
wattage

check the listings in the bios for voltages and tempretures and post them

I know its a Nvidia card. not sure the CPU. The motherboard is ASUS sorry don't know the model. 350 watt power supply. The computer was locking up randomly before this happened. Can't check the volts or tempatures as I can not connect monitor. Thanks

I have had the same power supply for 3 years with no problems. It just recently started to act this way.

So a power supply thats going bad could cause the computer to freeze or the monitor not to power up? THanks

we need the details of the system to be able to make a viable suggestion you can see the computer in front of you
we need the details so we can see what we are dealing with or we are only guessing which will never work
see what this gives you but only post the details asked for not everything it lists

for the power supply you have to take the side off and look at the label on it
