It should beep once when you turn it on (unless it's a laptop). If it beeps a few times that's a trouble code that you can look up at the manufactures site. But, if it seems to be running okay, just no display: Maybe your monitor is dead/unplugged/shut-off. Try another monitor, if that fails, try another video card.

That is just generic troubleshooting, it could be something specific to the model. Start pulling parts out one at a time and see if it boots, my money is on your video card or monitor though.

In the future it helps us to know the model, when it stopped working, is it a PC or a laptop, what lights flash, etc.. More details better answers.

Didn't see the model. My bad. Since it's a laptop it probably has a VGA port, plug that into a regular monitor and see if you have video, if so, your monitor is the problem. It could be a loose cable, or the whole thing could be bad. Unfortunenately, replacement LCD's cost about that same as a new laptop.

....and I just answered another OLD question. Sheesh the layout here sucks.

I have upgraded my tc1100 to 1.5Gs of memory. The description on the memory module is ( Super * Talent D400SBG/H STT DDR-400 PC3200 SO-DIMM Hynix 1G/64X8). The problem is the computer initially boots into...

It sounds like that memory should be compatible with your tablet PC. It may be a bad memory stick -- try to replace it with a different memory stick (preferably from a different manufacturer) and see if it still gives you the same problem.
If you didn't have this problem before you installed the new memory, a different memory stick will likely correct the issue. You can also try removing the new memory and see if the PC boots up like it should.

Systemax Ascent HA3200 RTS won't boot - fans come on - no display

The motherboard seems OK as it is displaying signs of life. The Monitor should display something before booting up, which it is not.Please do the following. 1. Remove the RAM and reinsert the DIMMs into their sockets and boot up. 2. Disconnect the HDD data cable from the HDD and the motherboard and reconnect. Boot up. 3. Disconnect the monitor and reconnect. Boot up. At boot up press F2 and set the PC to default settings. Boot up. Later when you want to apply your settings, keep noting down what you did when. Just in case.
