Apparently my 2 year old computer has a problem I have been unable to solve. I have added nothing to the computer. I hear the computer start up, hard drive sounds like it starts, fans come on, but am not getting a signal to my monitor. I checked my monitor, keyboard and mouse and the wiringon another older computer , all seem to work fine.

Also tried the unplug , hold down the start button on the computer for a minute (even 2) a couple of times. No help. Tried the F8 key, still nothing but a black screen. Only shows the "no signal" messare for 10 seconds then NOTHING Else. Please help.

Jim

The "no signal" error message is generated by the monitor not the computer. Either the motherboard or the video card (if you have one) has problems. It's probably time to take it to a PC repair shop.

Good Luck
