hey everyone im curently usin a mates pc to tell you this but yesterday i was cleaing my pc and took out my video card once i had finished put it back in turned pc on it booteed up fine but nothing came up on the monitor and after a min it saind entering sleeping mode so i turned the pc off took the graphics card out made shore it was clean etc so i decided to plug the monitor into the graphics card on the motherboard if you know wot i mean the built in one so i booted up but still said same on monitor...entering sleeping mode so do you guys know wots up?? thnx

You might have to enable the onboard graphics in the BIOS in order for that to work...

But did you try inserting the video card again? Maybe it wasn't seated correctly...

ye i tried putting it in again and how can i enable it in the bios if i cant see anything on the screen?? is there no reset switck or anything on the motherboard???

Hmm, good point

I'm not sure about switches on the motherboard, the only thing I can suggest is that you give this a read. http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000241.htm

Maybe someone else has a better idea in the meantime.
