mhh not a way to fix it, but sounds like the problem is on the monitor itself, not on the pc

RE: PLEASE HELP (computer)
 

so in other words, i have a old crappy moniter AND a new crappy moniter?

RE: PLEASE HELP (computer)
 

No. Sounds like a video card problem. First thing I'd do is take the LCD to another computer or laptop and hook it up to test and ensure it's not the problem. Assuming the monitor is good, next thing is to look at the video card on the PC you're having trouble with. If it's an onboard video card (Meaning it's part of the motherboard. You can tell by the socket you plug the monitor in to. Is it with the group of plugs by where you plug the keyboard in? Then it's onboard. If it's down towards the bottom by itself then it's a video card) pull the battery for the CMOS with the machine unplugged that will hopefully reset your CMOS completely and wipe any type of virus that might have infected there. If you have a seperate video card, try replacing it and see if that fixes the problem.

If None of those fix your problem you may very well have a motherboard that's about had it.Hopefully one of these will fix your problem though.

ok ill try that later, and i already know the video card is onboard, built into mother board

ok well i brought the monitor to a buddies house, it is shot... i still got nothing but a bright grey screen on his computer.. sucks, i guess ill just keep beating on this one

RE: PLEASE HELP (computer)
 

usually when the video card is dead you get a beeping on your mobo if its a good branded one, plus orange on a power led means "you are screw buddy"
