I need help. I am running Windows XP. Everything seems to be working fine except for random Black Screen then message "no signal"....I wiggle the mouse.....after a few seconds comes back up and works fine for a while but just keeps returning. I restored my sysem back to all original settings, I have updated my video card drivers thinking it had something to do with the video card but I am now lost. Please help!

Hello dnize,

Check that your video card is properly seated.

When you say properly seated do you think it may have worked loose from where it is plugged in?

[mirjel]

Yes, maybe your card is loosing concact. If you know, try to clean the bottom of the card with regular rubber.

Well I new it was too good to be true...my issue is back. I had Windows Media Player open in the process of burning a CD. I also had my music file open and dragging in music files when the old black sreen/no signal was back. Any sugestions? I believe I have on board video, can I just use it? Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated.

try the onboard video...remove the AGP/PCI video card first...no more blackscreen...its the video card or the driver causing the problem...replace the card

[dnize]

So I've shut down my computer, removed the video card, plugged the monitor into the main board. When I turn on the computer the monitor will not come on. Is it still looking for the video card. Should I do something?

[happyrock]

replace the card..boot into the bios and see if there is a setting to use the onboard video...enable it and then remove the video card and try rebooting

[dnize]

I have reinstalled the video card. restarted in bios but I'm not sure how I enable the on board video...can someone help.
Thanks in advance.

Well I've done it now .....I enabled on board vga (or something like that) restated the PC and now nothing I can't even get back to bios utility..I feel soo stupid for just not waiting for someone who knows something.
