Monitor and pc not talking to each other

By dawnebut75 on May 02, 2009

" "

my monitor has suddenly stopped responding to the desktop. when i switch them both on, they both seem to be working, but then the monitor switches itself to power save mode because it doesnt recognise that it is connected to a pc. the monitor works fine when connected to the laptop. HELP!!

- my monitor is a medion md9323aj. I dont have access to another monitor to try it. since posting I've noticed that the keyboard doesnt respond either. the lights usually flash when the pc is switched on, but they do nothing. My guess is there is a problem with the motherboard and probably that the mouse doesnt respond either

When you turn the desktop on does it go through the self test and beep at you or just sit there and do nothing? If you hear the beep and see the test or a logo on your monitor, then everything goes blank your hard drive has a problem. If you see and hear nothing it could be motherboard, power supply, memory, or video card. Try reseating everything you can and blowing the dust out of the machine.

The PC isn't sending a video signal to the monitor. Does the PC work with another monitor? If so, the monitor needs to look on a different input for the signal from your PC. You didn't say what monitor you have so I can't tell you how to do that.
