    Hey guys,

    http://www.dandan556.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pc2.jpg

    When i boot my pc i get the bios screen shown above, and the normal bios beeps, nothin unusual. But after that screen has gone my monitor displays "no signal", but the fans and everything else are still running :confused: :( .
    I've already tried a new graphics card from another machine but still nothing.

    If you would like to know my pc specs, just ask.

    Before try anything else try this (which is also the easiest):

    1) When you see that screen press DEL to get in the BIOS settings and look for an option such as 'Load Fail Safe settings' that would reset the BIOS settings. The problem you are having could be caused by incorrect settings on different sections or excessive o/c'ed settings for CPU/RAM, by resetting you would know if that was the case. If pressing DEL yields no seccess/response, try removing the BIOS battery (flat metal) on the motherboard for 10 secs or so (make sure the power cord is not plugged in when you are doing this). You could also use the BIOS reset jumpers if your mobo has one (refer to its manual).
    Then us know if that helped or not. ;)

    It's obvious your monitor works if you can see the post screen?
    For starter's follow Turcoloco advice!
    Is this a new build, Mobo replacement, What??

    ok, i tried what you said but still nothing, when i press DEL it says prepare to enter setup but nothing happens, also trying to reset bios doesnt work either.

    And its not a new build, it just happened :rolleyes:

    No, it has nothing to do with the monitor. A monitor is simply an output device, it has no interaction/effect on boot. I still strongly believe it is either the RAM or BIOS, how did you reset the BIOS that it didn't work? Eloborate on that a bit, did you try removing the battery or use the jumpers to reset?
    For the RAM possibility, if you are using more than 1 stick of RAM try to boot with only one stick installed and see what happens...

    I've aslready tried the graphics card in another pc that works fine, i only have 1 stick of 512mb RAM, and im not abke to try a stick out of this pc because my motherbboard doesnt support 100/133Mhz RAM.
