    No signal error on monitor, can't connect to BIOS
    Hello everyone,

    I've been having a problem where my monitor displays an error that says "No signal" when I try to boot up. When this problem originated, it was sporadic and it wouldn't work at start up maybe 1/3 times. After maybe a week, it stopped working altogether. When I start up, I hear three beeps (from the BIOS?): one sustained beep and two quick beeps. I have absolutely no idea what this means. I have tried accessing the bios or at least some basic settings level on the computer by holding down F2, F12, and F6 at start up to no avail. Please help!

    Thank you in advance!

    Swap in a known working video card as a test.

    Just a quick note before I try the above, I have tried the monitor on another computer and it works fine.

    All signs are pointing to the video card then.
