Re: Techy people please help
1) Borrow another monitor or test your monitor with another computer to make sure the monitor is fine.
2) Does your computer beep more than once when you first turn it on? If it does, check the beeping pattern with sites like this one. The first start up screen (the ugly one black-and-white texty one before it goes into Windows logo and stuff like that) should tell you your computer's BIOS info. The beeping should help pinpoint what kind of problem the PC is having.
3) Agree with the others that it sounds like a video card problem. Get a can of compressed air and clean out built-up dust, especially ones on fans and heat sinks, because overheating can cause graphics cards to crash. Bad power supplies or not enough power can do that too, but since the only way to know for sure is to take the components out and test them separately on a working computer, it's not something I'd tell people to try unless they know exactly what they are doing.
I hope it'll an easy fix!
