Power Save Mode?

[goofy_12345]

Hey, i need your help,

When i start my computer, the monitor turns on, and come up with the
error message:

"Information:
Monitor is in Power Save Mode - Activate Using Pc"

I checked all the connections at the back of the computer, and i
checked the monitor connections. I tried restarting it, and turning the
power on and off, but it still shows the same message. Do you have any
ideas on how to turn it on using the pc? It seems like the only thing
that turns on is the fan, and the lights that show the hardrive is
on...... PLEASE HELP!

This sounds more like a computer fault than the display. The reason the
display outpiuts this message is because there is no sync-information coming
from the PC.

Firstly, check for an unseated display card.

This is a hardware problem, not a Windows issue. First unplug the
computer and reseat the video card. After that, if no picture appears
on your monitor:

1. Attach the computer to a different monitor. If the problems travel,
then you know it is the computer hardware at fault.

2. If everything is fine on a different monitor, then you know the
original monitor needs to be replaced.

3. If the problems travel, swap out the video card for a known-working
one. If that solves the issue, replace the original video card.

4. If that doesn't solve the issue, you need to continue with more
hardware troubleshooting.

Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts
with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are
uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).
