Screen goes blank, "NO VGA signal" displays, then everything shuts down. This happened every once in a while for a month or so, but now almost every time I'm on the computer. SOmetimes after I've been on a long time, sometimes after only a few minutes. I usually lose everything, although sometimes some of the programs I'm operating are still up when I turn it back on.
View 7 RepliesMy computer has been doing this for awhile, it works fine, I can watch videos on it and everything, then I go play a game (Call of Duty 4 on max graphics) then after a minute or two my monitor would go blank (Blue in this case since its HDMI) and lose the signal to the graphics card, The connector isn't loose, nor is power and I must reboot to get the signal back.I have upgraded the computer with this graphics card, I did uninstall old drivers but maybe not fully.Another perhaps unrelated problem is that whenever I restart, it no longer detects my graphics card, resolution: 800x600, 4-bit, I must uninstall all my drivers, then reinstall them and it fixes the problem.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm guessing this should be in the hardware section, but I want to make sure it's not a software related issue. To give you the complete story here, I was playing Madden last night when all of a sudden my computer rebooted by itself. No warnings or anything, just a black screen for a quick moment and then a reboot.
I thought it was a bit strange and waited for it to boot to see what it had to report, but to my surprise it booted up windows, got to my desktop and then did the same thing again, so I just let it sit there till today
i bought the new game, Lord of the Rings Online. Works and installs perfectly however, because i have a weak connection sometimes an error message comes up saying you have lost connection, so i would keep trying untill i manage to get onto the game successfuly. Then i would get another problem which i am sure it is to do with my graphics card. As i am loading the game and enjoying the introduction video, my computer screen would go black and a message would appear saying 'No Signal' with the computer still running. So after seeing this message i would assume to restart the computer, there is no other way of getting it back to the desktop. I did this quite a few times maybe about 6times. After pressing the restart button for the last time
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a dual monitor setup on my PC. Today, when I boot it up, the main monitor displayed all theboot information and startup stuff, however, when the system SHOULD have gotten to the user login screen, the main montor came up with "no signal." The secondary monitor at this time will still show my mouse moving around on it, and I'm able to move the mouse over to the main monitor but I can't see anything.I've gone through a few basic manuevers to see what was wrong. I booted in safe mode and logged in to my mai account and attempted to change the other monitor to the main one; However, Safe Mode does not appear to supoort multi-monitor and I couldn't change this. After that, I attempted to VNC into my computer with the notebook I'm on now. When I came to the login dialogue box, the only account I could log into was the invisible "Administrator" account. My main account, as well as a temporary account I created for testing, both came up with an error "Cannot access due to user restrictions." My theory is that because all of the accounts which are actually visible on the login screen seem to not be working, the login is bugging and not outputting anything to my main monitor (since I have verified both monitors and connections to be working properly).
View 6 Replies View RelatedGot a problem, I have Acronis True Image and I have restored the settings stored which is about 2 years old now. I have done this loads of time to clean the pc and start afresh. Problem is i am now unable use computer - "no signal" on pc showing up. Anyhow i have been fishing about and it looks like the graphics card is not working, there is no sign of it in dxdiag/display. I know the graphics card is Radeon 9200 SE AGP and i also have the disc, but i still cannot get it to work, I am safe mode at the moment.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been experiencing intermittent bootup problems with Windows XP. When this happens, the XP splash screen appears(blue line scrolling) and then monitor loses signal and reboot occurs. This can cycle several times, even if I choose the option of starting Windows with last known configuration that worked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI entered my XP run PC into standby yesterday but as it would not resume later, I turned it off using the power button. Now it won't wake up again. I have been sitting in front of a blank screen for 3 hours. The monitor displays "no video signal", so I exchanged monitors but the other one stays blank too. The pc appears to be running but will not boot. I have entered Windows CD to restore but it won't even boot that.
View 1 Replies View Relatedthe monitor works fine(tried it on another computer) all cables are good the AGP video card works(tried it on another computer) mother board gets power, u can hear the HD and etc startup, but i get the error message on the monitor "self test check your pc and signal cable monitor is working" my knowlege is that, since the monitor and video card worked with another computer, and in my main computer the video card is powered, and the fan is on, somemother thing is not allowing the signal the mother board to the video card to the monitor
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy explorer has gone nuts. It will run programs, run shortcuts to anything but folders and the real problem is that it wont open a signal folder either by explore or open commands. I've reinstalled WINXP off the CD as update, nothing happened. I've ran the steps listed in the last forum. Nothing has worked. I'm desperate. I'm running WinXP Professional on a basically 7 month old Dell comp with 512RAM and a 2.4 GhZ Pentium in it. I'm lost at what to do.

View 14 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine needs win 2000 Pro boot discs. I don't think this is illegal as a microsoft site says if you have problems to make from a friends. He is the only person I know who has it. Need the discs to access his system. Probably infected. Cant get it to start, shutdown, nothing. Sometimes monitor says no signal. Sometimes works. Checked wires. Put in an old spare video adapter card, starts to work fine but freezes before I can do anything. I do not have a floppy drive so I need to be able to burn them to a CD.
View 6 Replies View Relatedfriend whose computer has crashed the screen had frozen. He could do nothing except reboot it using the power button but on rebooting, there was a 'no signal' message on a black screen. We have checked the monitor connections (the monitor works when connected to his second computer) and even replaced the video card but of course this made no difference (no signal) We've taken out the HD and installed it on his second system. Does this mean that the most likely cause now is the motherboard/bios or is there something wrong in our approach/deductions
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have problems if I try and run the display settings above 800x600. I was wondering if this would be fixed if I upgrade the firmware settings and if so where would I get these upgrades? Whenever I try and run it at a higher display setting all I get is a thing saying "Signal isnt compatible with this display setting".
View 6 Replies View Relatedwhen I booted up Windows XP it would only run up to the Windows loading page. Where you see the Windows logo and there is a bar running. After that my monitor either goes blank or gives me a "no signal" message. So I decided to reformat my hard drive and re-install the OS. Well now it only turns up the background, where I could see the background image and the mouse. But no start bar no nothing.
