LG Flatron in Power Saving Mode when I attempt to boot PC Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 
My LG Flatron M228WD Monitor goes into "Power Saving Mode" as my Dell Dimensions 5000 PC (yes, I know its old)  attempts to boot.  I have NVIDIA installed.
Boot light stays "green".  I get nothing on the monitor apart from advising its a RGB output/input in top left hand corner before it goes blank.
I've read through previous fixing suggestions but they seem to include a Fn key that my keyboard  doesn't have.  Only F1 ro F12 inclusive.
Also tried Num-Lock suggestion - no luck and other suggestions
Also there's a loud whirring noise from inside the PC casing.  I've cleaned which reduced it a little.
I have several important emails that I definitely do not want to lose
I'm a non techie and can't give further info but I'll attempt to answer questions if led by the nose
Can anyone help me please?


Configuration: / Chrome 48.0.2564.92

The "poser saving mode" message is generated by the monitor when it does not receive an in-put signal from the computer.  It appears that you computer has died and needs the services of a PC repair shop.

Good Luck

Hi, to let you know a techie mate advised that I changed the GFX card.  I did and my old XP PC is working again.  Like getting an old friend back.
