Monitor gets no signal. Closed

Question

Hello, 
Ive had this problem in the past after installing a new hard drive. Installed one again and it's not getting a signal. Just a black screen and a yellow light. I've switched memory around and cleaned video card. I've held the power button in for a minute while unpluged. Anyone know what else i can do to get monitor working so i can install windows? Thanks a lot.


Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.6.8

Hello, 

Try this 1. 

If you failed to get the display even when your computer is Switched ON then 

make sure that problem is not coming because of bad RAM or video card. 

Remove the video card, connect your monitor to the onboard VGA and check 

whether you are able to get the display or not. 

Note : If you onboard VGA is disabled, then reset your BIOS.  

Click on below link and try hardware reset.

Remove the RAM from the slot, clean it and place it back properly or try another  

slot. Even bad RAM will result  you in display problem. 

Also check your monitor and its VGA cable. 

Good Luck.
