When I turn it on, the green power light turns on and so do the fans but the monitor is still blank (the monitor works fine on other computers) and then after a few seconds the computer makes a beeping noise and thats all it does. What is wrong with my computer?

Thank you for the help.

Does it just beep once and if so is it a long or short beep. If it beeps more than once post the beep code, i.e. long, short, short, short.

First find out what motherboard is in the puter if you don't have a motherboard manual, then either contact the computer manufacturer or motherboard mfg. and find out what that particular series of post up error beeps means...each has it's own code for errors. Then attempt to zero in on the problem item or series of items. If you list a bit more about the computer brand and what you did (if you added anything to the system), just before it started happening.

I'd go with Answer 7. Sounds like either your video adapter is either loose and needs to be reseated, or you need to check the connection between your video cable and the computer (video card).
