How old is the 15" monitor?  If it is an older monitor, there may be a bad/loose connection in the cord that connects to the computer.

It's a problem with your monitor. \n\nYour pc is actually starting fine, it's the refresh rate that's made the monitor unable to work out what it's supposed to be displaying\n\nSee if you can drop it back down to 60Hz in your display properties in safe mode before reboorting, then presto you should have it back again. \n\nIf that doesn't work I'm not too sure how to do it in Windows, but because I have an old monitor, I've done it the text based way about 0324234234 times in linux.

Is the computer on standby? If it is then you should shutdown the computer instead. \n\nRun an antivirus program on your computer to see if a virus may be the cause as well. Also check to see if you have had any recent errors, like driver conflicts or "the blue screen of death". That could also be a cause.

Hi If you are not getting a signal then it looks like you have a problem with your video card.\nCheck that your video card is  seated  correctly you do this by gently pussing down on the card with your fingers.\nthen check that the  leads from the  video card to the monitor is fitted correctly and that it is not loose.\nYour monitor should have an orange light on it and when you switch the computer on  the light should change to green.\n\n you may need to  reinstall the driver for your video card

Take it in to a shop and have them look at your power supply. It sounds like that could well be your problem. If so, it is a fairly easy fix. Trust me, it happens way too often of late. Good luck.

Yes check in my computer, Display, make sure it is 16 Bit Color, hit apply. If not fixed go to the monitor buttons & hit Deguase, Re-start computer. Still doing the same thing,\nunplug your monitor, allow 2 min. plug in & re-install using setup CD. Do it in that order.

Maybe your monitor not connected with power supply plug-in. \nIf you heard "bip" twice at the first booting and than the black screen, it means your VGA-Card not plug truly to your motherboard.\n\nRed light? Your monitor positions to close with magnetic item. example, speaker active, or else.

Goto your CONTROL PANEL and select POWER OPTIONS.  Make sure it is set at a level you want, I assume it says to turn off hard disk after 20 mins...Just change that to NEVER.

Your monitor isn't on or plugged in properly to the computer.

if the tower is all working (light is on and display is showing on monitor) then chances are the OS is damaged. recover using the recovery disc or in some cases using the resest config data option in BIOS

Good information to help you resolve this would be:  new or used computer?  It could be shutting down for a multitude of reasons...  The first to come to mind is temperature.  Most motherboards shut down a few degrees before the processor's thermal breakdown point.  You may want to see that your heatsink is seated on the processor properly, and that any and all fans are functioning.\n\nAnother common culprit would be a virus.  Look for a free program that will let you do a boot time scan of your system.

Why not check the simplest thing first. Go to Control Panel and select Power Management. Check the entry Standbymodus - is there a time defined? If yes, set it to none or never.

It´s ´probably just going into "Stand By" or you need more time in your energy savings config. \n\nGo to Start> Control Panel> Display >Screen Saver> click on the energy saver button> there is a combo box that says turn off monitor change that to 10 minutes or 15 whatever you like.\n\nThis gives you more time to levae the computer an d the monitor won´t go off.\n\nhope it helps

Did you have a power outage?  Surge perhaps?\nSomething took out the power supply right?\nIf you aren't getting any kind of beep code or anything and everything seems to be reacting normally.  The very first thing I would do is check to make sure the monitor didn't get toasted!\nAlways verify the monitor isn't fried before you go to the MB and other internal parts of the pc for troubleshooting a video related issue.  Did you get responses from the hard disk, or cd rom after the power supply was replaced?

First go to control panel > Power Options > Power Schemes > Settings for Home/Office Desk Schemes  and check whether you have activated any auto turn off for HDD or Monitior (say after 10 minutes). \n\nCheck whether you have activated any screen server which gives you a blank screen after certain amount of time.\n\nIf it is not this please make sure your data cable, mouse cable and keyboard cables are properly connected to your system. \n\nMake sure that no automatic shutdown tasks is created earlier.\n\nAlso run a virus scan so as to make sure that there is timer based viruses which activate them selves in a sp. time.
