I bought a custom built computer without OS and it just came throught the post. When i opened it both Ram modules had fallen out so i stuck them back in. But when i power up the computer the fans turn on and it seems to be running but it isnt sending a signal to my monitor. I’ve tried two different monitors, reset the CMOS memory and reinserted the VGA card but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions to what might be wrong? Thanks
I can hardly install the OS without a monitor. I was hoping to get the BIOS displayed but its not sending a signal at all.
I grounded myself by touching the case. When I first turned it on there was 3 beeps repeating, which made me realise the ram was out but the beeping stopped after i put them back in.

I had to re-install windows on my computer because it had viruses. and now it all works fine but everything on the screen is really big! Nothing fits on without being adjusted. I go to display settings and the resolution is on 640X480 and I cant move the slider. Iv been told that maybe the video card driver or something is not installed anymore? But how do I get it/fix it? or what do I need to do? I dont know what my video card is or anything either. Iv had the computer about 4 years so its not like its on the Dell website anymore or anything.

Hey Everyone The reason I am here is because I have had a bit of computer trouble. Here is exactly what happens.
- I turn on the computer
- The Monitor shows only a box saying ‘No Signal’
- The computer makes beeping sounds ( 2 short beeps and then 1 long beep)
- The computer keeps on beeping
- The monitor then just shows a black screen
Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated.
Thankyou.

I have my xbox connected on my computer monitor on a dvi-to-HDMI cable which offers no audio at all so would it work if i connected my rca cables to the x31 audio plug to its receiver so i can hear audio only on my headphones? would that option work?

When starting up my computer the monitor stops loading at the Dell screen. I noticed that no lights turned on for my keyboard. Thinking that was the problem I purchased a new keyboard and that did not work either. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi… Does anyone knows how to connect a very old computer (Commodore, Sinclair, Atari 400, etc) to my PC monitor computer? I’ve read something about connecting a TV Tuner Card that support NTSC/PAL to my PC and plug the old computer in the TV card, but I haven’t found anything like it…

Any ideas?

What is this monitor called, teachers use it at schools and its a second monitor that someone can drag a opened program for the main screen or the other one.

Where is it sold, i would like to buy one?
I think that its a dual monitor where you have two monitors and one of those can have programs dragged onto it or an exernal monitor.

I have a normal computer with the box, not a laptop or notebook can i still have dual monitors?

I’m getting a bigger, better LCD monitor for my compy and I’d like to use the monitor I have to connect to my DVD player and Wii without a computer as the go between. It is not important that I be able to actually watch television as I have neither cable nor network reception.

Any suggestions?

Much thanks in advance!

OK I got a Wolfdale 1333-d667 r2.0 motherboard. in my computer.. this si suppose to come with an integerated video card.

I tried to start it up and everything seems to be working but the display on my flat screen monitor will not come up.. Is there a reason for this ?

Is there a way to fix this?
one other thing just got this computer out the box could it be the monitor or is something wrong with the computer?

Yesterday afternoon I walked into my home office and smelled what I thought was a very strong odor of a marker that had been left uncapped. After much investigation nothing was found. I turned off my computer and monitor and the smell is gone. Which unit is most likely the cause of the smell? What the heck is the smell? Is my computer/monitor going to flame out? Help!!

Thanks.
