Problem with signal from PC to Monitor

[verachion]

I have a problem with my PC when you switch it on there appears to be no connection to the monitor. I have tried various different video cards but to no avail. Can you help at all?

test the monitor on a known to work computer. if the monitor works fine, try a different cable.

Thanks for the reply, the monitor works fine and the cable I am using works fine. Its def something to do with the PC.

You need to completely uninstall the driver and then remove the video card from device manager and allow windows to re-detect it....

Unfortiunately the PC doesn't boot up therefore I can't uninstall the driver. I cannot get any signal from the PC to the monitor.

Make and model of PC or motherboard please? Also which operating system?

Is the card PCI/PCIe/VGA etc and does the PC give any beeps at start-up? A BareBonesBoot (http://www.paulski.com/zpages.php?id=1718) might help locate the problem device which might or might not be the video card.

Do you know if on-board video is an option or indeed whether there is any hope of entering the BIOS setup - probably not? What colour is the LCD on the monitor - does it flicker at all or does it not even come on at all?
