Monitor does not display windows. It says the monitor is working fine, check the feed to the monitor from the computer. I assume that the graphics card is the problem, as the last couple of times the display has shrunk in size. Now there is no display.

Assuming your computer is functioning ok: then either your graphics card is not recognizing the monitor, the cord is not connected properly at both ends, or the monitor is defective and not displaying the signal. I would switch the monitor with another one, or try it on a different computer. If it works properly then you have narrowed it down to the graphics card. Remember, this is assuming your computer is OK. Try a different monitor on your computer, too.

According to the Dell Support web site the Dell Dimension 2400 has a built in Intel 3D extreme graphics adapter, assuming you are using this and not a PCI graphics card.

Go to the Intel Download Centre and run their Intel Driver Update Utility which will automatically scan your system for updated drivers for any installed or integrated Intel devices.

If the Intel Utility identifies an updated driver for your graphics adapter then download and install that which should enable you to configure a higher resolution for your display.

You solved it - the graphics card failed.

Hi,

Please check the VGA cable properly its working fine if any brokage then replace with goods one,if still same situation then your display setting has been changed from operating system .go to desktop /right click/properties/setting/advanced/select graphics card/graphics properties/color correction/and select all adnd apply it.

You can fix that by getting a new graphics card
I'm assuming you have a T3830 emachine.

hi,your problem is not a video driver issue,you need a driver for the monitor.you can go to manufacterer website and get a driver.

assuming that u r a professional..
i guess there is no problem with ur monitor, it sounds like itz due to graphic adapter..either the adapter on ur system main/mother board/agp/pci/pcie is damaged or itz simply 'driver corruption'..
don't panic..check for driver update/download n reinstall graphic/display driver..
however, 1st make sure that the Screen Resolution (1024x768 or as applicable) and Color Quality (32 bit or as applicable) is correct..from Display Settings->Settings tab..
always better to contact system admin/vendor....

the resolution setting may have been in inadvertently change to one that your monitor does not support you mentioned that you have another monitor that does work with your computer what i would do is to set the video resolution to the lowest possible setting and the turn off the computer and connect the questionable monitor to your computer and reboot if it does come up then you will be able to make changes and find an appropriate resolution for your monitor

Hi,
Better to reinstall windows(Operating System) and drivers.


Thanks

your videocard is loose contact with the motherboard try to dismantle remove the monitor connectr going to this video card and clean then reinstall
