Computer won't give signal to Monitor
I was able to fix that for the most part, but it would reset whenever I unplugged the computer from the power cord.(I suspected that this was the Cmos battery losing it's charge) It would give me the message, but also an option to continue, so I would just do that and forget about it. After that, as long as I would keep the computer plugged in, powering on and off were smooth as silk.
So, the other day I decide to add a stick of 512 mb RAM. I do so, and now when I power the computer on, the monitor does nothing but display the "your monitor is working correctly, please check if your computer is plugged in blah blah"
It only flickers right when I turn on the PC, and then returns to that screen. Could this have more to do with the Cmos battery? I have tried both the graphic card plug for the monitor and the on board plug. Thanks for any help.
