Plug the cable VGA in to the compac and the laptop. than go to graphic properties and activate your extended desktop. You can also use the monitor as a second one, or clone
Set all items up ready to be installed
Plug in your mouse and keyboard into the back of the tower. If u are using the old style connectors these have pins and will also be colour coordinated so you know where to plug into tower. They will have a notch inside so plug in carefully so not to break pins.
If they are USB connections they will be square at the end and u will see where these plug in at the back of the tower these do not have colour coordination as u can plug in anywhere.
Next your VGA cable, this is the cable that looks the same both ends with 15 pins in it. One end goes into your monitor and the other into the back of the tower these are shaped so they only fit in one way, again caution that you do not force in as you could bend the pins.
Next ensure u have the power leads into the tower and the monitor, these are the cables with a plug on one end and a female 3 hole socket at the other, u will see where these plug into both devices.
Next plug into wall ensuring socket is off first
Then switch on
Switch on your tower....monitor should come on by itself, if not hit the power button on your monitor
Voila ...done
try installing the OS again. it should work for you well. And if still you have the same problem, then install the LCD monitor software if you have a LCD monitor.
This power supply is quote HP, "250 W Power Supply (PFC)". Almost any power supply will provide that much power. The problem is in a mini tower, the shape has to be matched and that limits you generally to the manufactures PS. Here is one that will replace yours.http://www.codemicro.com/store/product/243891002/New
