Monitor switches off during boot up

[msjackson]

Hi, can anyone help me?

 

When I boot up my pc (using windows XP home edition), the windows page shows on the monitor (with the blue loading bar on it) and then the monitor switches off saying "no input, going to sleep".

 

I can't get started on the pc and I'm not sure what to change (if anything) in the bios setup.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

Press F8 after your PC boots to get to the Advanced Startup options - then select boot in VGA mode.

 

If it boots ok, change your screen resolution back to the standard settings.

I have deleted your other thread,please do not double post.

 

Tootech I wrote this post on his other thread and it seems a waste to just delete it.

 

Hello and welcome.

 

My first thought is to check all cables are secure and fully connected.

 

My second is to try the monitor on another computer or laptop/netbook and see if it has the same issue.

 

If the monitor works on another machine then your computer is the issue.

 

Now are you sure the computer is fully powering up and staying on/running?

 

If the computer is running and staying on then shut down the computer then restart it.Repeatedly tap F8 key and a list comes up please choose safe mode.Can you get into safe mode?

 

Or can you get into last known good config?

 

Another to try is can you restart and get into BIOS and does the screen go to sleep?
