    Once I turn on the computer, nothing shows up on the screen; not even the bios. So I formated the hard-drive, and still not even the bios shows up, and the monitor doesnt get off sleep mode. What is wrong with my computer?????

    Either the monitor chord is not properly connected or there is some problem with the display card on your motherboard.

    I had the same problem few months back and the hardware guy solved it in few minutes. He did not inform me as to how he did it though! :(

    My monitor sometimes does that, the problem is that the monitor would try to connect through the analog cable (VGA) but im using DVI cable, so in my case pressing the button source solves the problem.

    Unplug your computer then plug it back, do turn on the power of the CPU then if it beeps on boot, there is problem with your hardware ...

    On and on my pc was also like that. I just installed new window and it worked out. So this is my suggestion for you, do new window installation. If it is still not working, better to go to the shop where computer is repaired.

    Maybe it's the Video card, if you have onboard then might be the Motherboard.
