The title says it all.

Any help or ideas of what to check.

Dows the monitor have a color button on it? Is it changing from amber to green or on some blue? What type of video card is in the machine?

The color on themonitor stays yellow. It just says no signal. The video card I'm unsure of though?

Rick

Is there an actual video card in a slot or is it part of the motherboard (built in) ?

It's in either the AGP or PCI slot I can't remember but its not on the MOBO.

Either of those a fairly old. Try removing and reinstalling the card. Also while you have it out inspect for corrosion. You can clean the tabs with a new pencil just make sure the erasure is clean. And run it on the tabs to make sure they are cleaned up before reinstalling in the machine. See if it doesn't power up then. If it doesn't then its either a card or a monitor cable.

Well the VGA cable for the monitor is brand new (but just in case I do have an extra I could swap). I also am going to replace the Video card this week. (been busy with drill :(.

Thanks

Ill keep you posted!

There are lots of reason when your moniter isn't show any images if your video card is new and working properly then check your rem because rem is also responsible for display.
