SOURCE: Monitor says no signal

Is this a brand new system? What is the make/model?

This is a peculiar problem, as the computer was working fine for several months after you purchased the computer, then suddenly started this behavior. The fact that you do establish normal operation after the restart eliminates a few culprits. Your monitor is perfectly fine, as you eliminated that by trying another (same problem). I doubt the problem is your BIOS, as the OEM BIOS is usually a very solid part of the system. Unless you updated it in March/April?

The hardware should be fine--if there's a hardware problem, usually it works or doesn't work, or will work intermittently in an unpredictable manner (meaning, you'd start up and everything would be fine, but later on the video would cut out).

Also, try this experiment: When you start up the computer and you get the "no signal" indicator on the monitor, shut down the computer and leave it off for about 5 minutes. Start it again. If the problem repeats, it could be that there's some kind of software conflict between the operating system and BIOS, but a warm restart bypasses this.

It is possible that a Windows update that occurred around March/April may be conflicting with a driver or the BIOS. There are a couple of things you can try... In the "Accessories > System Tools" there is a System Restore utility. If you haven't made many changes to your system since March/April (e.g. installed a lot of device drivers, components, software), you could try restoring to a point where you are certain the problem wasn't occuring. If that works, you know that a software update is the culprit. If it doesn't, don't worry--you can "undo" the restore and go back to where you were so you don't lose other things you've installed (your registry gets updated frequently over time and you don't want to lose that).

There may be an updated BIOS for your computer as well. If you bought it new, it doesn't guarantee they had the latest installed when you got it.

Good luck!

SOURCE: My acer m460 computer had a glitch in the middle

Could be power supply problem.
Do any lights on the front of the pc come on?
Does the motherboard standby light come on when the power is swiched on?
Any fans come on?

Try swapping out the power supply if you have a spare.

Good luck and comment back if this was helpful or if you need further assistance.

Check your computer to make sure it is actually sending out a signal. You can do this by hooking up another working monitor. If the other monitor works, there maybe a problem with the original monitor and it may need to be sent for service repair.

AL 1706 troubleshouting monitor wont turn on green

If your monitor shows a yellow light and it won't turn green, the problem most likely lies with the computer. If your computer is not sending a signal to the monitor, then you have a computer problem. One way to test this is to turn the monitor off and the computer off, too.
Turn the monitor on and if it is working, it should display a message telling you that there is no signal. If you see that message, you can assume the monitor is working. If you do see it, now turn on the computer and see if the message changes.
If you turn the monitor on and you get no message, you can assume the problem lies with the monitor itself.
If you have access to another monitor, hook that one up to test the computer output.

You can now either get the monitor fixed or the computer fixed, depending on which one is bad.

My router is not getting the wireless signal it says no wireless what do i do to fix this

Are all computers connected to the router affected?
If so, try this first:

  1. Unplug the power to the cable / DSL modem
  2. Connect the power to the router.
  3. Connect a computer to one of the LAN ports of the router.
  4. Restart your computer.
  5. Restore the router to factory defaults. Note: This will remove all previously configured settings.
  6. Once the router has gone through the restore it will then begin the reboot. When the reboot completes plug the power back into your modem.

This addresses a common scenario where the router has been connected to the Internet for an extended period and holds an IP address (DHCP lease) for a longer period of time than your Internet Service Provider (ISP) allows.

This is normal and does not indicate any issue with your Belkin router or ISP.

If the router is located where you cannot easily unplug it, you can restart it using the router's web-based interface. If your DHCP lease time seems to be extremely short, contact your ISP to see if there are other issues on the network.

In certain network scenarios, it may be helpful to turn off all the equipment on your network, and then turn it all back on. Leaving some devices unplugged for up to five minutes can also help. Try unplugging the router, any switches, and any cable or DSL modems. Shut down connected computers. Plug in the cable or DSL modem first.

Plug in the Belkin router second, and wait for the lights to cycle through the startup routine. This prevents another device from taking the DHCP lease. Lastly, start up your computer.

PC had problem with VGA signal after a wireless router was instal

There's no way the router would affect the VGA signal. You might have just accidentally trip the VGA cable on the back of your computer causing a loose connection. Just unplug and replug the VGA cable then reboot your computer.

New computer hung at "Acquiring network address"

Hi,

Verify that the DHCP feature of the router is enabled. Alternately, you may want to set the PC to use static IP configurations rather than "Obtain an IP address automatically". Sometimes WinXP WiFi configuration messes connections when none WEP or WPA is used.

You may want to fix set your PC's WiFi config to IP Add:192.168.1.2; Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 and Default Gateway: 192.168..1 (that is of course assuming that your NetGear RangeMax WPN824 Router uses the 192.168.0.1 IP add).

If this still does not work, pls post back so we can figure out tricking the WinXP WiFGi config to connect.

Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
