stupid PC problem - no graphics output

Recommended Posts

I was checking one of the ICT suites at school this morning, and I noticed one of the machines had no picture on the screen. Thinking the monitor had failed, I plugged it into the monitor next to it, and the one next to that, to no avail. Still no picture coming out of the machine.

I carry the PC back to my office and plug it in, and it works. Thinking I must have been mistaken, I put it back in the room only to find that there is still no picture.

Long story short, the thing works on any monitor in my office, but not in the ICT suite. This is utterly beyond me.

Any ideas?

Probably need more info...

What resolution is the display usually set to? what resolution were you able to achieve using the montior in your office? When hooked up to one of the non-working monitors, are you able to see BIOS startup information, or nothing at all? Safe mode?

This could determine if this is a failed driver issue/hardware issue...

1. The monitors in the office displayed at 1024*768, which is the standard resolution for computers in that ICT suite.

2. When hooked up to a non-working monitor, the monitor remains in standby mode (the led blinks), as if the computer was switched off.

3. Safe mode is not an option as there is no display.
