    Hey all,

    In the weeks leading up to this one my PC has on the odd occasion been losing the signal between the monitor and the PC. Normally when I'm playing a game but also when simply browsing, the signal simply seems to cut out, and my monitor light just flashes. I have to restart the computer to resolve this. However now my PC will send no signal whatsoever. The PC turns on, the fans start up, however there are no beeps and no signal is sent to the monitor. I have replaced the monitor and graphics card and encounter the same problem.

    Any ideas?

    Many thanks

    Could be that the card is overheating. What card is it? Also, it could be the VGA cable. Have you tried using it with a different monitor?

    mrchriss, disconnect all cables to drives. remove all cards & ram except for videocard & 1 stick of ram. reseat the last 2. clear the cmos as have found that to work occasionaly on stubborn systems. any domed cans(capacitors) with silver tops on the motherboard? try another psu to just power the board not the drives.
