Hi. I had problems with my old computer and i had to replace some parts this is what happened and what i did:

- when i started the pc there was no video signal going out to the monitor screen:

~ I tried another video card but it still did the same thing.

- which led me to think it was the mother board:

~ I bought a new mother board, video card and power supply and it is still doing the same thing.

I know for a fact the monitor works because i tried it on another computer and it worked. when i plug in the VGA cable, if the computer is on the small LED light on the monitor goes green for a second and then goes back to yellow.which means i cant even get to BIOS.

any ideas what could possible be wrong? I'll appreciate any help. thanks.

Does the motherboard have on-board video? You may need to disable it via the BIOS.

It doesnt have on board video- but even if it did, i couldnt get into bios anyway because there's no video output. (as in there's no signal going out)

Are there any post codes? Thats a series of beeps as the computer powers up. If so then the beep sequence can be decoded to give you the area of the problem. If there are no beeps then the power supply or processor is the problem. Is the CPU fan turning? Are all the power plugs in secure?
