1. cpu starts but the monitor is blank
the system haven't even get to the windows loading screen and already blank, what makes u all think that windows could cause this problem?

2. i don't know which version TS using, but personally i have tried XP, XP SP1, SP2, and now SP3, the problem is still here. heck, it would still be the same after i formatted my HDD, so u wanna tell me that there is a leftover windows data that causes such problem?

3. i am sorry that i give no constructive solution coz i dunno how to solve the problem, yes, i admit that i dunno how to solve it, but i know it's not due to windows problem. heck, i even ask for solution if anyone here knows. pointing out that it may not be due to windows' and WGA fault eliminate one of the "useless" solutions, so TS can focus on other solutions given.

4.
here, i follow ur advice, i dun simply tell people what the solution is coz i dunno, what i know is the problem may not be attributable to windows and MUST NOT be due to WGA issue

i rest my case

I doubt that the display problem has anything to do with the Operating System as TS mentioned that once the display in back, it can go on until the next shut down.

I second that you clean up the graphic card, especially the connecting point, and if possible, clean up the entire computer system as well. Do update us on the progress of the display problem.

when i said it was WGA probs? check my post i said it could be services pack. i think u got some mental probs keep on picking on every1 post here & think u r very clever.

@Caspian
I think its you who started picking on cyew86 1st, now pls stop b4 this thread turns into a flamewar

@TS
Disconnect all the power wires from the psu to mobo and connect back step by step. 1st just cpu and mobo connector, see if it boots properly. Then keep doing til you have reconnected everything back. Thats worked for me a couple of times when ive faced similar issues

u might wanna read all the postings again and must i remind u that my earlier post was not targeted at u? i am not looking for flame war here and i do what i can to help TS while hoping to find a solution for my problem too. i do not think that i am clever, and i do not act like one. but at least i know how to respect people and not to look for trouble. now, could we stop this and focus on how to solve this problem?
