"No signal" display on Monitor but computer sounds fine?

Forum CPU & Components : Other Components "No signal" display on Monitor but computer sounds fine?

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello,
Hey guys... I have an Acer Aspire M1641 desk top.
For some reason the other week, it randomly started having problems. What happens is when i turn the computer and monitor on, the computer starts up normal but the monitor displays "No signal" and then goes to sleep but the computer appears to keep making normal sounds.
But every few days it decides to work properly (Im using it now) but soon it will just stop communicating with the monitor... go to sleep and when i turn the monitor back on it just says "no signal"??? All the cords seem ok... please help???

Computers rarely randomly begin having errors. What happens is the user does random things to their computer and promptly forgets about it.

Really..what changed? Did you do an update? Install something?

The easiest thing to do is to look under Accessories, System tools, Restore and restore your system to a date when it worked. Personally I think its your video driver...

Check your temps with HWMonitor, Core Temp or RealTemp. SpeedFan seems to be wrong more...
