no signal to monitor

Liz Guthrie · #1 Nov 5, 2006, 06:34 PM

Haven't used PC for some time. Switched on, however PC monitor shows 'no signal' error message. Tried rebooting, same result.

Trying to isolate the problem, I tried connecting up a SUN monitor (suitable for PC) and get error message 'in power save mode. Activate using PC'.

At this point, I don't know if the problem lies with the monitor - PC or SUN - or with hardware.

I'd appreciate any help on this.

i think the RAM (hardware)is the problem.there appears to be a problem with RAM synchronisation.it is unlikely that the problem is with the monitor(picture tube)because the error message proves it.the solution is to either repair the existing RAM or i would recommend upgrading RAM .
