right here goes the other day i built a new pc for a mate it was working fine but his internet wouldnt connect so i went round and his connection was upstairs so i took the pc upstairs and sorted the net out now for the weird part i connected it back up and the monitor says no signal and dosent come on so i took it back to my house connected it to my monitor and it worked straight away so i took it back and tried another monitor he had and it didnt work again same problem so he took it to his birds house and used there monitor and hey presto it worked so he borrowed the monitor but when he got it to his house it did the same thing again no signal its puzzled me nar any ideas would really help

Hello budgie love, welcome to PCHF.

The only thing remaining is power. Try using different power cables. If he is using an extention block, then disconnect any other equipment he has attached to that block, he could be overloading. If that fails, try using a different block of power.

he bought a new surge protector the other day hes tried all the different sockets in the house with no joy and it plugs straight to the mains think his house just hates monitors

lol budgie.

OK, I think you'll need to take a step back, check and recheck everything again. Judging by what you have said so far, everything has been ruled out. There's always a logical explaination. If your absolutely certain that he hasn't done something silly, like attach his surge protector to an existing extention, or is this surge protector something he was using before or after the PC was moved? Try using different extention and power cables that you know work to start with, including the VGA cable, and then we can work our way back from there?

My initial thought when reading your first post was that, maybe it was just a co-insidence that when the PC was moved it started to work again, and when moved back it stopped. If it was a co-insidence, then maybe you have a loose graphics card would be my first thought.

i wish it was that simple monkey the graphics are onboard lol could something be interfering like the tv or something like that cause thats all i can think of now it just isnt makin sense

lol, it really does sound like the PC is being starved of power at the moment budgie. But if your still having problems after everything is disconnected, including speakers/sub woofer, let me know the spec of the PC, and what is connected where. Also check how many amps each fuse has to offer. You never know, it may even be faulty house wiring.. but I'm just a technician, not an electrician.
