    Here's the problem, have had it for a good two to three years was working great and then one day turn on my pc and nothing the power light won't come on nothing. I did all the regular checks all the cords were plugged in power was on so on, tried a different plug in, changed my cpu, tried different graphics card, tried it on a different machine monitor works like a charm, borrowed an different LCD works great no probs. Tried to reconnect my monitor and get nothing again this is really weird. It's a nineteen inch synaps from walmart. The person I borrowed the monitor from is selling their pc and needs their monitor back so I need to figure this out asap.

    lestomboy, part of your 1st post states no "power light" but rest of post says it is ok. maybe it has a problem with your videocard slot? try a pci videocard not pci/e 16.

    I took out my old video card and put it on my onboard one and still it doesn't work and if it was my graphics card why would it work when I plugged in the other monitor, it's almost like it's not compatible but I have been using it forever now and all of a sudden it doesn't work. It's like now it just doesn't like my pc

    usually white slots are pci. try another psu as you've changed almost everything else.
