    hi guys! i desperately need your professional help!
    my other computer was working fine yesterday night or should i say this morning, and when i got back and turn it on, the screen turn black, then my monitor says 'no signal input' then after like 5 seconds, the screen showed a message saying that windows did not start successfully and something about new hardware/software.'

    and then there's 4 options saying either that 'start windows normally' , '..... new software' and somrthing else. so i picked 'start windows normally' and when i reached the boot screen,(cause it's usually black with a window xp logo and a loading bar right?) the background and the logo turned green, yellow, orange, etc. and 2 loading bar appeared! one in the normal position and one at the bottom. they just went flashing differnt colors!

    and after that, maybe like 5-10 sec. the monitor says 'no signal input' i tried to turn it off and turn it on again, but it's the same. i tried to wait for it for a while but it's still 'no signal input'. could it be a hardware inside the computer fell lose? cause i heard a sound like something came loose last night. but it work fine this morning.

    please i really need your professional help!

    thanks in advance

    From scanning your post I'd say check your monitor cable. Then if its not tight open her up and see if your video card is seated properly.

    was your card screwed in place or just sitting in the slot?
