Why is my monitor is turning off by itself?

Why isnt my monitor turning on?

  • Hello! Ok i bought a new computer (well from ebay in december) it was working fine (well it had a few glitches as it had corrupt boot files and i dont have a copy of windows ) but it used to turn on and the monitor would show all the booting stuff but today i turn the computer on and the monitor doesnt turn on it just stays in standby thingy (power button is orange) i tested it out on a few other computers and the monitor is working fine! so im kinda stumped ! Any ideas would be appreciated? many thanks

  • Answer:

    Yes it's your computer either the memory has gone or your graphics card as given up try another monitor on yours if it does the same switch off the power open it up and give the memory a slight push to make sure it asn't moved do the same for the graphics card then turn it on and put your ear near the hard drive to make sure it's spinning if not then it's the drive that's gone try a different hard drive let me know how you got on mate email from profile.

there might be a plug in the back of the monitor you need to push in

The reason it's not coming on is because it's not receiving a signal from your graphics card. (Evidenced by the LED remaining orange.) Take the side off your computer case, and take the graphics card out of it's slot, then reinsert it. Unplug your computer from the mains supply whilst you do this, but touch the case with your hand(s) to get rid of any static electricity that may have built up in your body. Replug the computer back into the mains socket and switch on. If everything works, replace the side of your case and thank God/dess that your graphics card is still OK. If this doesn't solve the 'problem', you might like to try your graphics card in someone else's computer, or try their graphics card in yours.

Check if your graphics card is working try plugging a monitor in that you know works, obviously if that comes on it's your monitor that's dodgy if however it doesn't it's odds on it's your graphic's card.
