Hi i have a this problem. When i boot up my computer, the monitor for a
sec boots up too. However, in that next second it turns into stand by.
I have a Nvidia X1900. Please let me know what is the problem if you
know thank you very much. i really don't know what is the problem.
 
Do you hear any bleeps coming from the base unit?

this could be a problem with a range of things, most just assune its there graphics card as thats what its connected to but its could be a range of other things

1st thing to try is another monitor,
Then any On board graphics if any,
its more a process of elimination with these types of faults

Tell us more about your machine and when this started happening, do you see anyting on screen before it happens etc
was it prior to an upgarde.

the more info you give us the better we can help, tell us what come on screen if anything and talk us through what happens from screen to screen so we no just when the monitor shuts off, this will tell us a lot...
 
Hi:

It is dificult to say, but my experience tells that it could be a VGA
problem or may be a cable/conector issue. I suggest yuo try to see if you
may user another monitor to test or a VGA card just to see if you get the
POST message (CPU and memory count). Also some adapter from VGA to DVI has
problems. I bet, let me know better it is VGA card problem. Do you hear any
"beep" from the CPU?A series of them can let you know an internal
malfuntion.
 
Hey!
No, i don't hear anything from the computer at all. I do have a dvi
adapter so, i am going to try it today and see if thats the problem. I
trying checking the graphic card with 2nd monitor. the second monitor
does not even do anything. the screen remains black. however, on my
first monitor the screen loads for a sec then shuts off.

That tell me all i need to know, you have two options and there isn't any good way of finding out which one it is with out messing about,

1, its your Graphics Card
2, Its your motherboard

Normally when that happens its the motherboard 7 times out of 10 anyway its one of the biggest mistakes people make (its got to be the graphics card cus thats what its connected to but it turns out to be the M/B)

What you need to do it find out if you have on board VGA if so take out your G/card plug your monitor into your on board part and see if it boots, if it boots then your G/Card is to blame if not its the M/B

One pos is that your VPU card isn't seated correctly AGP slot are temperamental and if not seated (even 1mm out) it fails to work, try taking out the G/Card and reseating it pushing down until it wont go no more and you have heard the click.

POST bleeps normally alert of what’s wrong in side the box but what i have found many of times is that with this fault you have got, there are no bleeps as the M/B has completely gone, but hopefully your one of the 3/10

if you haven’t got On board VGA then see if you can test your VDU card in another computer or test a VPU card in your computer,

If your card works in the other computer then its your M/B 80% but there is a possibility that it maybe a incompatible issue

so the test a card in your computer is best, if the new card don't work then its your M/B 100%

the other test is the opposite, try a replacement motherboard if that dont work its your VPU.
