Was working perfectly fine last night. Unplugged it, opened it up and dusted it out today, went to put it back together and it turns on and runs just fine but I'm not getting signal to my monitor.

What I've tried:

Checking to make sure all plugs are plugged in and in their proper spot.

Made sure the ram was seated.

Tried booting with 1 stick of ram then the other.

Tried ram in different slots individually.

Removed cmos for a few seconds and inserted a new one.

Any ideas?

I would remove the RAM, then take a small artists brush and make sure there isn't even a speck of dust in the RAM slots.

Other things to check... make sure the monitor is plugged in and turned on. Make sure the cable from vid card to monitor is in properly. Make sure the monitor is set to the proper input.

A while back I did have the same kind of issue due to a microscopic bit of dust in the vid card slot.

Maybe try a diff cable? It might be seated weird, or maybe when taking it off it pulled a pin or something?

I had a no sig problem once, and it turned out to be a bit of dust in the vid card slot so tiny it wasn't funny. I was pretty upset, that such a small amount could do that.


I can't think of anything else it could be. I guess it could be a BIOS setting, but I can't think of what it could be, and you can't see the BIOS screen anyway. :/
