compipter monitor will not turn on!!

[chrisclick]

Hello, I have a slight problem...

Whenever i turn my computer on, I hear all the fans spin and the LEDs are on...

but the monitor will not turn on... it just stays there with the "No Signal" message.

its an onBoard graphics card.

Thanks

1. Try Another Monitor

2. Get a new computer/or simply put in a PCI video card.

Ive tried another monitor....

and, I cant afford to get ANOTHER computer, and i dont have any PCI video cards spare

Do you mean you can't afford a 40USD video card or you don't have any PCI slots... seriously just rip out your sound card place one in if you don't have space.

You tried another monitor? And both didn't work? Huh...that probably either means your plugging it in wrong (hopefully), or that your motherboard's GPU is dead?

*EDIT* If it still boots up, then I guess just try another GPU....or like I said maybe the VGA/DVI slot on your motherboard is broken?

well, i was looking for a slightly detailed reason

I have the same problem right now, except I got a new mother board, and I think it has something to do with that. Have you installed any new parts in your computer lately, they might be screwing some things up, also the bios might not be working correctly.

ive tried using an AGP graphics card and it still doesnt work!!! My poor motherboard which i loved so much has now left us...

Then its time to start putting money away and save up for a new computer. So you gonna get a laptop or a desktop this time around?

For the time being you can just get some temporary motherboard for a few bucks online.

I think im gonna get my dad to get another motherboard from work, but it wont be as good as the one I had I doubt. :(
