hi can any one help with this problem
when i put my home computer on yesterday the hard drive started up and the green light on the monitor went on then after a couple of seconds i got a message saying no signal and the monitor light went to orange and the computer wont start
it wont start in safe mode either i have checked all connections which are ok
i tried a spare monitor in with no luck is my hard drive dead
thanks in advance for any help

Sounds like graphics card is either loose or faulty mrbloby. First thing I would try is to reseat the graphics card, are you able to do this? Also, you metioned safe mode, which suggested you may initially be able to see something on the screen when you first switch the PC on, or is it completely blank?

hi madmonkey
thanks for replying
when i put computer on the monitor comes on for a few seconds with a black screen and a small message in the middle saying no signal
then the monitor switches off and it wont start in safe mode ???

have u tried re-fitting the graphics card? (if u have one)

Aye mrbloby, your going to need to open up the PC, and make sure the card if properly seated, and hasn't come loose from it's slot (assuming you have a card), there will only be one screw holding it in place.

hi madmonkey
thanks for replying will try what you suggest and let you know the outcome
