Computer

Didnt know were to post this but I have a very big problem with my computer. Well I had it shut off for a bit then when i turned it back on the computer would start fine but nothing on my monitor, Just black. No matter what I do nothing will show up on the screen, and yes I am not an idiot and i know the monitor is pluged in correctly and everything.

ok, so your monitor on light is on? No picture? Is your computer starting up ok without the monitor running? Checked and wiggled connections from monitor to graphics card?

I have checked everything over a million times, and my monitor light is on but it is dark yellow not green like its supposed to be.They light is yellow only when the computer is off but the monitor is on(when the computer is normal)

Power On Self Test...meaning there should be a "beeeeeppppppppp" when you turn on your comp.

have you tried installing switching the gfx card w/ the one you're using now? and same thing w/ monitor?

It dosnt make any beep when i start it. And the graphics card is integrated,dont think it comes out.

Your motherboard may be faulty or just the integrated graphics. did you upgrade any components recently?.

I had a similar prob. about three years ago when adding more ram, I short circuited the onboard graphics. But fixed the prob by installing new card graphics.

I didnt do anything like updates, i was just using it normally then shut it off then poof no more computer. I have a warranty on my Mobo and stuff so can i get it replaced?

reset the CMOS

that should fix your issue cuz it sounds like the integrated gfx is disables

if u dont kno how, then look at the mobo. u see the little cell battery? pull it out, boot the PC, turn it off, then put in the battery again. that should work (thats the simple way used for ppls who dont kno how to reset the cmos the rite way [or the mobo doc doesnt tell u how])
