Hello everyone. I've ran into problems with our 4-years old HP computer. When I start it, the screen first says "Check Video Cable", then in 5-10 seconds it changes to "Monitor going to sleep..." and simply shuts off.
My dad and I thought it might be the video card that simply stopped working since it seemed like the monitor wasn't receiving the signals from the computer. So we changed it. We bought a new one, and the same problem still occurs every time you turn the computer on. We checked the cable through connecting it to another computer and the monitor and it works fine, so it shouldn't be the monitor...
The video card is slightly upgraded.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
