No Signal

[Nameless1990]

My computer has been working fine up till recently when I turned it on and got a message on my monitor saying "no signal detected" or something like that. I disconnected the DVI cable and reconnected it and still got that signal. So I used the DVI to VGA adapter for my video card and tried it using the VGA Cable. The difference this time was when I plugged the VGA cable into the adapter my monitor went to sleep, I unplugged it and it said no signal could be detected again. I tried the onboard VGA and it said the same thing as my card. Any solutions here?

Are you doing all this switching of cables with the power on? Please say no. Shut down, check gfx card is properly seated, reconnect and double check signal cable and boot. BTW, is the onboard VGA disabled in BIOS?

Clear CMOS (or hit restart 3 times in a row or whatever that command is). That happens to my DS3 when overclock fails. It's probably not your vga/monitor/cables.

Thanks for the tips. I've been real busy with work the last few days, I'll try these once I get off tomorrow. Thanks.
