Hi I'm fairly familiar with troubleshooting problems on my desktop PC,running on Windows XP, and my PC been running great but for some reason I'm not getting any signal on my monitor, I've connected it to another Pc and the monitor works perfect, yet on mine all the drives are working, keyboard lights up yet all you see on the screen is (no signal) I checked the connection and the cables and they work fine, and since the video card is intergraded with the Motherboard?? What to do next?

One beep, usually means that the computer is booting normally. Since it is on-board video, I would assume that there is an expansion slot for an external video card?
If there is one, see if you can borrow a compatible card, install it. If the screen comes up, then it's the on-board video having the problem.
A new video card nowadays is quite reasonably priced and will be a lot better than any on-board video solution.

Do you have another monitor to attach to your PC? If that doesn't work, then the problem is the video and your best option is to buy a new video card. You may need to go into the CMOS setup to disable the onboard video.
