monitor reads no input signal?

Question

I have just bought a brand new system.I have connected my monitor to the tower with the lead provided.I have connected the built in speakers to the tower also.The tower and the monitor are both plugged into the mains.Everything works just fine.Windows vista starts up fine.When i come to shut down.I click on the shutdown button the computer shuts down.The monitor goes blank and then for a few seconds "No input signal" appears on the screen then goes off.Please, is this normal.If not what could be the problem.Thankyou

Answer 1

Perfectly normal. This is just because the computer has stopped sending a video signal to the monitor, so it gives that message. Then it detects that the monitor is still plugged into the socket so it switches off. If you pull monitor lead out and switch the monitor back on it will show that message all the time.

Answer 2

That's absolutely normal. As has already been intimated, it's because the monitor isn't receiving a signal from the graphics adaptor (graphics card/video card) as you've turned off the power to your PC.

Simply switch off the monitor and do whatever you were going to.

Answer 3

Check the monitor cable. If it is ok, plug another monitor in just to make sure.

Answer 4

could be a memory problem does your comp give a a long beep after two short one's if so one of your memory sticks as died.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
