Hey guys, ask you all some questions...
I have a pc here which the monitor does not shows anything when start up...
The green light of the monitor just keeps blinking...

I have tried the monitor and the graphic card... Both are ok...
One funny thing is sometimes when I just switch on the switch of my computer, the pc fan and power supply will run on it's own without me switching the on button of the pc....

Anyone can help... thanks in advance...

Additional info: It's a dell pc and now the pc gives off 6 beep sound when switched on... And i'm not sure abt the model...
 
hey mate, check the rams, re-sit them, Dells are g*y if you ask me.
i have 3 optiplex's in my office and 1 of em no matter if the ram is new or not, it beeps its a** off for no apparent reasons.
so check your rams. in most cases rams are the source to a blank screen
 
in most cases rams are the source to a blank screen

yes it is and depending on the age as well..... - if it is new it make need drivers to run.... but it could be the ram.....
 
Hey guys, thanks for your replies...
The com is old but how old I'm not too sure leh...
I tried removing one of the rams and surprisingly... there's no beep sound anymore... However, the screen still doesn't startup... Monitor still green light blinking... Then when i switch on the switch... the power supply fan and cpu fan automatically on... I tried for another few times and it switches off by itself after a few seconds... :confused:
 
ok - we are getting somewhere - what are you using for a video card???? motherboard or a graphics card???
 
LOL... Now i try switching the ram to another slot and the beeps come back again... When i switch back again... Then the same... :rolleyes:
 
Have you tried another power supply? This is just a wild guess, but a faulty PSU *could* explain some of the weird behavior...

Is there a way you could get the model of the mobo?
 
Hey guess wad... I tried again and it actually starts up...

But it shows

Is it possible to see the problem from here... lol
Cause this computer cannot be switched on again the next day after it works...

Anyway, is it poissble to see the type of motherboard frm the info given... thanks
 
Okay, did you try entering the setup? Press F2 and you'll be there, and there should some kinda option like "Load optimal settings" or something along those lines. That might work.

EDIT: Oh actually I think the CMOS battery needs replacing... you'll probably come across the same problem the next time you boot, unless you replace it!
