Monitor will not wake up when pc is turned on

I replaced my mother board with a gigabyte and ever since my monitor will not come on the orange light is on but it will not turn green

  • barnhajc Mar 13, 2009

    I also have a gigabyte mobo and am experiencing the same problem. The computer is not in sleep mode. It is set to turn only the monitor off after 10 minutes and never to turn anything else off or go into sleep or hibernation mode. When I return I cannot wake my monitor up but the computer is still awake ( I can start programs and see the lights blink and hear it working.) It only does this every once in a while, but that is still too often.

How do I disable the power, sleep, and/or wake buttons in Windows? Answer: Disable the computer's ACPI feature If you wish to disable all three of these buttons, you can disable the computer's ACPI feature in BIOS / CMOS. Additional information about how to enter the BIOS / CMOS setup can be found on document CH000192. Once in BIOS / CMOS setup, you can disable ACPI in the power category. The location of this option is almost always different between all BIOS manufacturers and versions of BIOS.
Change the power option within Windows Microsoft Windows XP users By default, Microsoft Windows XP will prompt you what to do when the power button is pressed on the keyboard. If you wish to change this setting, follow the below steps.

  1. Click Start / Settings / Open the Control panel
  2. Within the Control Panel click Power Options
  3. In the Power Options Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
  4. Under Power buttons, click the down arrow under "When I press the power button on my computer" and/or "When I press the sleep button on my computer" and select the action you wish to perform when pressing the key.
Microsoft Windows 2000 users Unfortunately, Windows 2000 does not have all the features Windows XP does. However, you can change the power button or other buttons to perform a different function. For example, changing the power button to suspend instead of power. To do this, follow the below steps.
  1. Click Start / Settings / Open the Control panel
  2. Within the Control Panel, click Power Options
  3. In the Power Options Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
  4. Under Power buttons, click the down arrow under "When I press the power button on my computer" and/or "When I press the sleep button on my computer" and select the action you wish to perform when pressing the key.

My dell monitor turns on for 2 seconds then goes black and the green light blinks orange

I assume that you already try this monitor on another PC to verify that the problem is in the monitor, in this case you need to open it up and inspect the fuse, transitors, solder connections on the power/inverter board, see failed Dell monitors here for guide: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further.

As soon a the Monitor turns on...the green light turns to orange (this usually comes on when the computer is idle) with the same black screen.

Please check by removing the VGA Cable from the Cabinet and check the whether are you getting VGA connection message on the monitor screen or not ?
If you are getting the message on the Monitor screen after removing the cable then check the Mother-Board
or else get monitor repaired

Mother board no display

Looks like the lights are on? Fans spin? Sounds like the harddrives spinning? The power supply is bad. has just enough power to light lights, and spin fans, but not enough for the processor. (No beep sounds, because BIOS hasn't done a memory count. It's not going to)

ALL the lights use less than 1 Watt.
EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts.
The harddrive just sitting there spinning, uses about 5 watts.

Processors use 55 Watts to 125 Watts. Depends on the processor.
Not enough power to turn the processor on, the computer won't work. Computer isn't working there isn't anything to turn the monitor on. No Signal.

Orange light, no start

Well it could be the power supply, but, first try removing all the cards on the motherboard except the video card (remove and reseat that) assuming the video is no built in. Then turn it on. See what happens. Post back with results

Dell Monitor Not Working

well if the status of the LEd on the monitor is amber(orange) & the system is running on a on board video card & not a Add-on video card... it is a possibility the the integrated video card ot the mother board might have gone bad... either contact a local tech or the tech support for the computer...

also unplug the monitor cable from the system tower & then if you see that there are the bars moving which say monitor self test on... means tht the problem is with the video card or the mother board...
since the system is running on a integrated video card...

My computer is a Gateway(GT4023E). When I turn it on you hear the fan come on and the orange light for the disk drive. But the blue power light doesn't come on and the monitor is blank. Tested monitor on...

this problem i have seen mostly with the d845gvad2 (series) motherboard. i myself is using it and it often happens. unplug the power supply connector from the SMPS and plug it again tightly, also press the RAM tightly, the RAM Sloth may be loose. Keep in mind, do it with the main power supply unplugged....
