Tip 1: Does it Give A Bleep? First and foremost, if the
computer monitor goes blank after the boot process, you need to listen for
bleeps. Did the PC give one bleep? If so, most probably everything is fine and
you should proceed to check the next item under Tip 2 below. If the PC gives a
long bleep or series of bleeps - then there is a problem. In this case, you may
well have to open case or get someone technically competent to do it. Tip 2: Check the Monitor Cable A loose monitor cable is also one
reason why a computer monitor goes blank after the boot process. Make sure that
you check the monitor connection to the video card is firm and secure. Tip 3: Check the Video Card If you checked the above and the
computer monitor still goes blank after the boot process, you should definitely
open up the case and check the video card. Is it firmly plugged into the
expansion slot? Also, if your video port is on the motherboard, check that the
connection is secure. Tip 4: Check Other Cards Ok, another thing to check if the
computer monitor goes blank after the boot process is the presence of other
cards. Other cards in the PC tend to affect the ability of the PC to display
images. Make sure they are firm and secure in their positions too. I've come
across situations where other PCI cards are loose and they affected my video
card somehow. Tip 5: Check Power Supply Connections The last thing to check if
computer monitor goes blank after the boot process? That'll be the power supply.
Make sure the power supply connections to both the monitor and the peripherals
in the PC are secure and tightly connected. Conclusion Try the above tips the next time the computer monitor goes blank after the boot process. Of course, as a last resort, if the problem still persists after trying out the above, you need to either send the PC to the dealer or get someone more experience to help you out.
