I have a Pentium III IBM NetVista computer which was working three days ago. When i put it on yesterday, the monitor screen was blank/black, such that i could not see the post. I did series of trouble shooting on it and this is what i noticed.

----Power Unit and fan of Computer was On

----Motherboard light was On

----CPU fan was On

----Monitor Power light was On, but red in color, eventhough monitor cable was plugged into the VGA

----When the Monitor was tested with a another System Unit, it displayed the POST

----The computer in context is using an On-board VGA. I assumed that the On-board VGA is not working and so,

----A working VGA card was plugged into an expansion slot, but still cannot display anything on monitor screen.

Can anybody please help me fix this problem
 
Does the pc beep at all?

Had same issue just a few weeks ago and found out it was the PSU. See if you borrow one.
