New computer does not send signal to monitor

<< < (4/4)

KatEnigma:
No, if it's a resolution/refresh problem, it WILL turn up as no signal. I've had it happen. I didn't even know it was possible until it happened, but luckily I knew exactly what the problem was as I'd just increased my refresh rate.

Venusy:
Ebuyer are collecting the computer, and dropping off a new one tomorrow, which should fix the problem. Or persuade me to purchase a new monitor (if the new new PC is also broken).

And katenigma, I hadn't realized that. These monitors normally display a different error message for resolution issues ("resolution range exceeded" or an equivalent), so I assumed it would be similar if the refresh rate range was exceeded.

Resolution/refresh won't happen until you get past the BIOS prompt. If it dies once Windoze gets to loading, THEN you have a refresh problem. If it dies before you get even to the DOS prompt area, something else is wrong.
