Help me fix my desktop computer

When I turn it on, all the fans start spinning, I can hear the hard drives working, there are no beeps, but my monitor gets no video. I don't actually know if it's booting up because nothing happens on the monitor.

It's troublesome actually, because my monitor is an apple monitor and it uses a special connector. Befoe my desktop computer started having problems the display would start working immediately and I could even see setup on the monitor. However, when I first got the computer and before installing all the drivers I had to use a different monitor, because my display wouldn't work until either the computer had booted into windows (and i had to install windows), or those drivers were installed.

So.. I can't actually be sure that it isn't just stuck in setup or something with an error on the screen that I can't see.

Anyways, my mobo is a P5w DH Deluxe. I use a ati radeon x1950 for video I think. I was using 2 for crossfire, but I took one out when this problem started happening.

When the computer starts up there are no beeps. It also doesn't sound like the hard drives are thinking so I suspect it isn't actually booting up.

Does anyone have any ideas to try before I am able to get another monitor? I won't be able to get one until tommorrow I think.

Can you plug the monitor into the motherboard instead of the graphics card?

Since you have 2 X1950s, try the monitor with both of them.

If your board has onboard graphics try plugging the monitor directly in.

Pfft, why when i post a blog asking for PC support it gets removed =\

Anyways u can try what Pawsom said if possible. Most PC's i know u can hook monitor up to motherboard. If it works there then you know its something to do with your vid cards. Try hooking it up on each different one, think u said u had 2? If it still doesnt work on either then i suppose both ur vid cards are bad


And just shooting shit out there, dont kno if it works or would do anything for this problem. But if it works when connect the monitor to motherboard you can maybe try to reinstall the drivers for your video card and see if it works? Idk. I dont think that would do anything for this issue though.

You should prolly just reseat the videocards, sometimes they arent properly in all the way and that could mess things up as well. Just take it out and put it back in

I cleared the cmos by removing the battery for 10 minutes. I am 50% sure this is what worked. TY Elemenope.
