Ok my brother has a computer that was having some problems for awhile.

When he went to turn it on sometimes the monitor would say "no signal". But if he would turn it off and on several times it would finally come up on the monitor.

Well today it just stoped working completely.. So I thought it was actually the monitor.

So I took it into my room and tried it on my monitor. Still it didn't work.. so I then switched out the video cards - Still nothing..


Anyone have an idea on what it could be?

I thought maybe the "no signal" thing would mean something to someone here. Maybe its happened to you before..

But again the computer would say no signal on the monitor then rebooting several times made it work... And now its totally not working.


:eek:
 
Im having the same problem w/ one of my monitors. I was worried that it was the video card or the OC affecting it but my other monitor doesn't have the same problem. So Im thinking its the monitor. I also live in Minnesota, and I thought that when the monitor was cold, it was the problem, and it would go away after it warmed up a little. I also am using the USB connectors on the back of the monitor, and thought maybe too much power was being drained that way.

I hope someone else will post a solution.

Well like I said, I tried it on another monitor also. That I know works.. but the computer still didn't work.
 
Crap.

I found out what it is... the caps next to the CPU (mobo caps) are blown..
