ok here it is, before i moved from FL my PC started doing this gay thing where sometimes the video would come on and MOST of the time it wouldnt. When i moved I left it there, My dad just drove it up to me last night.

And i unpacked it and it fired right up for the first 10 Restarts. But today I shut it down so my mom could watch TV (Its on a 36" Sanyo and a 17" gayway). I went to fire it back up, and i get nothing.

I unhooked everything, all ribbons, power cables, and even threw in a PCI Geforce MX 4200, and i still get nothing.

I just cant figure why nothing video related will work. My keyboard and mouse flash like usual when i first hit the power button and all fans and harddrives power up like normal and nothing sounded Un-usual in the sound of the harddrives and theres no beeping of anything.

So if anyone can help me I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Maybe knowing my stats will help you, and they are as follow:

Intel 848p V1.0 Mobo
Intel P4 2.4Ghz
512 MB Nanya ddr ram
Geforce 4 fx 5500 256MB AGP with DVI and S-Video
Logitech Keyboard (The one on source in cs_office on the desks)
Microsoft intellimouse 3.0 5-Button and a Nyko Air-Flo
Sound Blaster Audigy Live

check your monitor ! Make sure the cable is not cut or any of the prongs inside are not bent or broken off, also trying "wiggling" the monitor cable gently and usually the little power light goes from orange to green really fast...or if you have another computer handy try it on that...only thing i can think of right now.

Try reseting the CMOS

IDK how to reset the cmos, i know when i restart and it actually does work, it says cmos checksum error defaults loaded. And i know its not my monitor, cuz im on it right now, it doesnt work on the TV sometimes neither. And now when i open my winamp i go to play a song and it crashes. But atleast i can play source now. Im abotu to jump in the n00b source server.

When you get the problem, does the video signal led (Green) on the monitor show as being on.

Power on only yellow lead, or does it show video signal on usually green led.


Every once in a while my pc does something similar. On mine it has something to do with my cd-burner. After power on if I my video don't turn
on, I eject my cd-burner and voula, it starts to work.

On my system I'm sure it has to do with some conflict between my burner
and video card.

Don't ask how to fix, beats the shit outta me.

New power supply. :D

OMFG!! I was going to post that!!!

but it only works if you would REALLY believe it, im rather pc literate, i just couldnt figure out this gay problem. I have never had it before. But it seems to be working fine now Thnx Sir, Geno and oreX
