Monitors won't turn on

Forum Homebuilt Systems : Homebuilt Monitors won't turn on

Word :    Username :           
 

I use two monitors with my pc, but they won't come on during startup. I assumed my powersupply was going down since the computer would randomly shut off and wouldn't turn off by pressing the button. Yes, it would turn off if I went to start, etc. I did clean all the dust inside the machine, fans, etc. (a routine clean). I bought a new power supply, but I still have the same problem--the monitors won't come on, but they work fine on another computer. I'm puzzled to what is wrong with the computer. Could it be the video card?

What are your complete system specifications, including the old PSU?

Sounds very possibly like the video card. Can you try it in the other computer?
