I have built many computers but this one has me stumped.
The motherboard is an Abit KT7A with 128 dimm and a Duron 750. The graphics is an ATI 32 meg AGP something or other 2000. The monitor is a 17" CTX 1280x760 something. I also have a Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop.Here is the problem.
With a brand new case and pwr supply, no display on the monitor when pwr is turned on. I checked all card, cables,etc. I connected the monitor to the output of the laptop - works great. Back to the desktop and no display. I switched out the video card and used a PCI Magic Video 8 meg video card. Still no display. I even removed the motherboard from the case and surrounded it in plastic and turned on the power, still no display. Monitor says "no input signal". The motherboard and memory are brand new. I even had the company who sold it to me, had it tested and they said everything was fine in their 4 hour test. This was without my monitor of course. The monitor is right now connected to my laptop and running fine.
Two weeks ago, while my monitor was connected to my laptop, the screen turned dark blue and seemed to 'go out'. After resting for awhile with the power off, it seems to be fine now. This must be a bad monitor, right? Wonder why it works with the laptop but not with the desktop.
