until last night my PC was fully OK . problem started this morning .
Its one year old PC , AMD 3000+ 64 bit venice core , 512 ram , MSI rs482 motherboard , zebrinics cabinet and 740N samsung monitor .

This morning when I started , nothing came onto the monitor , its blue light blinking . I open the signal cord and turned up the monitor . It is working , No probs with the monitor because as I have disconnected the signal cord it said connect the signal cord and the blue light was not blinking .
while turning on , fans are running , even the HDD is ok as in the front of the cabinet the red light is on .( zebronics antibiotic cabinet ) .

now what I should do ?

looks like some ram or some cables are facing loose contact...and try running ur pc without the hdd(this had happened in my old pc , but this prob cant possibly come to newer ones..) . and try removing and re-connecting all cables.. it should work . & try a bios refresh as well , if that doesnt help..

no I already ckecked the cable , there is no fault .

when I am turning it on, the 3 lEds in my keyboard turning on for 1 time as usual , only nothing in the monitor ....its light only blinking .

is it a BIOS problem ? or a virus? I do use NOD32 . should I change the CMOS battery? while booting I tried to goto the bios so pressed Del but nothing happened .

take out the RAM, clean its contacts with a pencil rubber & install it again.

now check & report back.

this thing happened with my older monitor.it may not be a cabble problem or ram problem.mite be probs in the monitor itself.
i had to send the monitor to the service centre.they got it repaired.

do u installed or uninstalled something the last night?
do u hav UPS or spikeguard?
the prob is most probably with RAM or Moniter cable; chek for any broken contacts wher u connect the pin !!

ya man . u got problem in mobo or ram mostly . if u disconnect the monitor completely , ur pc shud boot and u shud hear that beep sound on booting and num lock (usually) turns on . u see hdd activity loading ur os. also , hear ur windows ( if u're using it ) , logon sound. .

can you boot to BIOS. maybe your CMOS battery is dead and needs to be replaced
