F My life...video card issues

'm not sure whether its the video card or the monitor but when I start
Windows XP, I can see everything until when the Windows loading screen
is done, after that it goes black then says "No Signal" then turns on
it's little orange light. I can go into Safe Mode and into VGA mode.
I've also updated my drivers and I was using the PC just fine last
night, I just had to unplug the monitor cause I moved the PC. People
say its a cable issue but obviously it's not if I'm using the PC now
(under VGA mode). Please I have no idea what else to do. I've even
removed my video card, dusted my ram, and updated the drivers. Also
when I try to change a setting in VGA mode, the monitor goes black
too.. please help

I would agree with the monitor issue. The same thing happened to me a few months back, black screen, no signal. I hooked my monitor up to my fathers PC and same thing, no signal, I then hooked his monitor up to my PC and it worked confirming that mine was fucked.

I'm leaning more towards it being a Windows problem, it gets to the point where its loading all the windows components, and drops.

It could be a monitor issue where the higher resolutions are crapping it out, but....I doubt it. You could try a last known good configuration, or if you have system restore enabled, try to roll back to your last point. Otherwise, youre down to either repairing (a pain if you dont know what got corrupted) or reinstalling (a pain setting shit back up, but will work).

But to test, yeah, try another monitor or something first, then if you have 2 sticks of RAM, try booting up with just one, or just the other, in case its a memory issue. Then on to the fallback windows options.

One other thing, I have seen (once) where certain USB hubs being plugged in at boot can cause this, so if you just picked up a new USB hub, that may be something too.

i got it to work now, there's another issue (fml). Now everything is like way to big and i'm overscanned completely. i basically have to scroll everywhere. its weird cause even 1024x800 is way too big...on a 20in monitor (i always had it at 1680x1050)
