i recently purchased a PC with windows xp-all seems to go
well, besides when i shut down, i get a flashing message
stating 'no input signal'-it shuts down anyway-but what
does that mean? thanks in advance!

Hi Rachel,

Possibly just your monitor telling you that it is no longer receiving a
signal from the video card.

The monitor is not receiving a video signal any more from the video card.
General this is a normal condition as in shut down mode.

Basically it means that your video card has shut down before your monitor.
I get it at start up on mine. Not sure what you can do about it but first
thing I'd try is updating video card drivers.

It means that the monitor is not receiving a signal from the PC's
video card. Perfectly normal if the PC has been turned off.

Since shutting down the PC cannot possibly power off the monitor,
there's nothing video drivers can do to change what is, after all,
perfectly normal behavior.
