new monitor with old pc

I have a noname PC that does not send a signal to either of my HP
monitors. I'm told that the "original" monitor worked fine. Is this
most likely a compatibility problem with the video card?

Thanks.

unlikely...a monitor is a monitor, the only thing that can cause a problem
is if you have the refresh rate and screen size are out of limits of the
monitor, but you will get an error message. I think its your video card.
These are not HP LCD monitors are they?...and if they are HP's 1703 LCDs
monitors, they are on a recall.

At all or do you get a 'signal out of range' message on the monitors?

I'm told thar be gold in them thar hills! Until I've seen it, I'm not
going to believe it.

More likely a video card that is dead or has come unseated.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
