Monitor Signal Help!

[Connor99z]

Today I turned my computer on, and after a while my 2 monitors went black, and said "no signal detected" and they both didn't turn back on, my computer is still on at this time, so I have to hold the power button on the PC to reboot the computer, I turned it back on and like 9 hours later it did the same thing, I don't know what is going on. Can someone please help me?

could be a failing gpu or power supply.

download the 64 bit if you have a 64 bit os.
set it to sensor mode and logging..watch your power supply 12/5v/3.3 rails see if there holding.

Before, both monitors used to switch off black, then come straight back on again, but now they are staying switched off instead of coming back

And where is the Power supply on the Sensor page?

For fuck sake, it just did it again, after like 5 mins of rebooting now the PC is just on and both monitors say no signal?

for the hardware info question it under mb under the sensor readings. for the pc issue now. try one monitor at a time see if the onboard video port works if you have one. if not pull the gpu and see if the pc boots to onboard video. if not try another power supply.

I have no clue what you just said my PC was custom built not be me, I have a monitor going into the HDMI and the other one going into a DVI-D slot, so what am I doing?

if your mb has ports for video. turn off the pc and plug on of the monitors into that port see if it turns on. also

do you have another on of those to use as a test unit to see if your rig has bad power supply. if not you may want to see if there a local shop that can do the testing for you.

Yes the motherboard has a slot for a DVI cable but not for a HDMI cable, so I'll only be able to plug one monitor in?

 

[smorizio]

that all you need to see if it a gpu issue to see if you can get video from onboard port.

 

[Connor99z]

So I am plugging one monitor into the motherboard then checking the thing on the sensor page? And where is the the thing you told me to check on the sensor page? I couldn't find what I was looking for?

 

[smorizio]

it be under the model of the mb..it says motherboard...then your looking for lines (+5) (+12) (=3.3) it have a min/max and current lines.

 

[Connor99z]

I plugged the DVI-D cable into the motherboard slot and nothing is happening? The monitor isn't turning on?

 

[Connor99z]

Just says no signal detected

 

[Connor99z]

I just plugged the HDMI cable into the gpu and the other monitor is showing now.

 

[Connor99z]

But the monitor that I plugged into the motherboard using a DVI-D cable won't show?

 

[smorizio]

use that tool and watch your temps...also make sure the cpu/gpu fans are moving also check that the power supply fan is moving. if the power supply fan stops it can over heat and shut down for safety.

 

[Connor99z]

Nothing loads with the motherboard monitor, so I plugged the HDMI cable into the graphics card and the other monitor will show, what am I doing now?

with a booting system....use hardware monitor...watch your power supply outputs. open the case check that all your fans are moving..even the power supply one. look at windows error log file.

see if it calling out power issue or gpu issue. if it power issue i would start a rma on your power supply if it under warranty. at some point your going to have the part fail where your rig wont turn on. right now the part is starting to fail and it could be the power or the gpu. you have to try your gpu into another pc or try another gpu in your pc if someone you know has a test card to use.
