if you are getting a No Signal, it is one of 2 things (monitor or video card)

As mentioned before, if your monitor is attached to the on-board VGA output. Windows will install a generic VGA driver so the system can boot if it cannot find other drivers.

With that said, this would indicate there may be a problem with the monitor.
-Do you have access to another monitor you can try to see if you can get it to boot?
-Also, check the pins on the monitor cable to make sure they are not bent in any way and is snuggly attached to the PC.

So, either the on-board video card is bad (as windows installs generic driver on boot, but if no signal, that means the computer does not detect a monitor attached to the computer)
-So, it is the monitor or the cable
-Or the on board video card

Somewhere in above info is what you need to find out.
-Try another monitor if possible
-check to make sure no bent pins on cable
-reattach the cable snuggly
-Try this monitor on another computer to see if it works or not (this will rule out the monitor if works on another computer)

Those are the steps you need to troubleshoot this.

-The only thing no mentioned in above troubleshoting is to find or get another video card that will work with your computer but I would suggest to try above first and then go from there with new card.

Everything you need is there, just have troubleshoot one item at a time.
