Default Monitor Won't Boot Up
Hello,

I've read the first page on the forum here. It sounds like I am not alone on this monitor black out problem. I've dealt with computers for some time now, re-installing drivers/hd's etc, when they crash, designing websites, and other things with computers. However, I have yet to build one from the ground up or replace a part. Not concerned, HOWEVER, I think its time.

Anyways, I have a Hewlitt Packard, (To be honest, dunno the model off the top of my head). I bought the computer from my grandmother about 6months ago, its ran flawless, then upon fire up the other morning. The computer screen FROZE on the windows screen. I was like ok, and against my better judgement I left the computer. Came back, and it had went from not just FROZEN but FROZEN and PIXELATED. I turned off the computer via the power strip. Upon fire up this time, the screen would not turn on what so ever. Rather aggrivating.

I started with the easiest fix by trying that monitor on another computer. The monitor works fine.

Do you think this could happen to be a bad graphics card???

Hello and welcome to PChelpForum.

Ok as I do not know if this is an onboard graphics card or a PCI slot on I sugest you open her up and if this is a PCI card resit the card and check internal connections are fully seated.Did you try a diffrent cable?

I have marked your thread as "Open" ready for you to receive further help with this from our great Tech Team and wonderfully helpfull members.

First off thank you for the wonderful welcoming.

I'll check tonight when I get home from my grandmothers. I should be able to have time to tear it apart this evening.

You are most welcome,also maybe do a little cleanup in there from any dust and dirt may help while powered off of course.

Try a removal of BIOS battery for two minutes replace and restart the machine see if that helps.
