Ok So Me and my friend just updated my old computer, I transfered all of my documents to my parents Dell, formated the Hardrive, installed windows XP home, I installed all the drivers and everything, then the the monitor came (we were using an anchient 15" to do everything else) I hooked up the monitor and everything worked fine, but I didn't install the Drivers for the monitor

. I shut down Trasfered all my old doucments from the dell to the new hd, pluged it all together and now the computer boots up, the monitor's lcd flashes like its sleeping. I turn on the monitor then the computer shuts off. I've also tried different monitors

Your graphic card may have over-heated or the monitor is so "ancient" it dosent want to run properly.

How have you transfered the files? Taking out the hard-drive from the computer and plugging into the other computer?

neptune_56 · 08-11-2004, 02:21 AM

Yea I already transfered the Files, but before I transfered the Files the monitor was fine.

The error could be related to inserting the hard-drive? I once broke something on a mobo while inserting the cd-rom...

Neptune: check that everything is seated properly .... do you have video right when you turn your computer on and then it dissapears or do you not see anything at all
