Start he
1. Make sure the CPU fan, case fans, and any other fans in
your computer are working.

2. Shut down your computer and turn off power *at the
surge protector* (which cuts off standby power while
leaving your computer grounded) or unplug it. Take
the standard protections against static electricity
(wear a wrist strap or keep one hand grounded at all
times).

3. Open up your computer and dust it out. *Do not use a
vacuum cleaner* - it might cause static discharge.
Get some dust remover spray (RadioShack has it) and
a dust mask, and take your computer outside and spray
out the dust. Keep the end of the spray straw at least
six inches from any components and keep it moving so as
to avoid excessive thermal shock to the components.

4. Reseat all the modules and cables inside your computer.

5. Clear CMOS (see your mainboard manual for how to
do it), try booting, and if it boots, set up your BIOS again.

hey

Your monitor is being supplied with power (green light blinks) - yet
no video signal.If the computer looks or sounds as if it's booting
normally, (floppy lights flash while it looks for a bootable disk,
internal-speaker beeps, etc) check to ensure the monitor video signal
plug is securely fixed and screwed into your graphics card or
motherboard (if you are using an integrated chipset.) The plug is
usually coloured blue on newish systems for inexperienced users to
easily find.

If it -is- securely fastened, and no image appears, try replacing your
graphics card with a friends (just a for a moment...heh) and see
whether that makes a difference. If so, you graphics card has cacked
it. Buy a new one.

cheers.

Sounds like video card problems. Check the connection from monitor
to card, and make sure the card is securely buckled into the AGP slot
(motherboard if integrated).
Turn up your speakers and listen for any irregular beeping sounds.
This is the way your computer tells you what's wrong if it is
seriously ****ed up. On that note, if you do get it working, try
setting a start-up sound so you can tell if the OS is booting even
when you can't see it doing so.
Good luck. Video card problems can be a bitch.

Are you sure your monitor is working? Just because your monitor is
getting power power, doesn't mean it works. May be useful to try the
monitor on another system, if you can.
