The frequency of graphic card on your PC cant suffice of what is required by ur monitor.

Or vice-versa / Replace your Graphic Card

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, usually one is able to download if available, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers, for spare parts and service, Driver downloads and Installation Instructions as required.

This is the best way of ensuring up to date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!

There are no XP drivers to be found with Microsoft as XP is no longer supported.

Some manufacturers may have a limited number of Drivers still listed.

I hope this helps.

Hi There and Welcome to Fixya,

The first thing you should do is to check if the pins in your VGA cable connector (from the monitor) and make sure if they are "complete and straight" - no bent or missing pins etc. It would be best if you have another PC or Laptop to try your monitor display out so you can determine which is really the problem.

In case you experience the same issue after trying the display out from another PC, then it is evident that there's a need to replace your LCD monitor. Now, if it's the other way around, then it's quite possible that you can resolve this by :

• Reseating/replacing your video card (if you have one)
• Updating your video display driver
• Reinstalling your Operating system.
• If it's onboard video, then I would suggest to purchase a video card compatible with your motherboard as oppose to replacing the entire board which is much more expensive.
  

I hope this helps,

Thank you for using Fixya.

Hi,
Welcome to Fixya Support
I am Michelle, and i will be assisting you regarding the issue
Please unplug and replug the monitor cable that connects to the cpu. a loose connection/ bent broken pins of the connector itself usually causes such an error message to come up.

Usually the Northgate monitor use 3 prong cable like this:

You can locate one here.

Sometimes the power cable isn't 3 prong cord and it is universal like this:

You can locate one here.

Both of them are not difficult to find at any electronics shop at your area and the price is cheap enough. In case you prefer use the links provided for amazon stores.

If you run Win OS try ro update driver via PC manage.right click:1- ->my Compuer                  2- ->Click on Device manager                      3-->Click ->Sounds Video & game controller.                                (here look for a yellow symbol if present  you  have a problem with the driver )                              4- Look at the mboard to see if you can find an obvious brand andmodel number printed on the mboard, usually in larger characters, oftenbetween the slots - if you see that, tell us what you found.

2.look at the cards in the slots to see if you can find anything thatlooks like it might be the brand, a model number - if you see that,tell us what you found. You may have to remove the cards to examinethem properly

3. look at the labelling on the largest chips on the mboard.

If you see VIA - go here - choose Chipset or Platform Drivers:http://www.computing.net/hardware/w...

If you see Intel,go here and download the utility to identify your chipset:http://www.intel.com/support/chipse...Once you have identified the chipset, go back to that same web page, and click on the link to drivers for your chipset.Usuallyyou need to get at least the latest INF Update utility, and the latestApplication Accelerator. If your Intel chipset has integrated (onboard)video, video drivers will be listed - in that case also get the latestvideo drivers.

If you see NVidea, go here, choose Platform/nForce Drivers:http://www.nvidia.com/content/drive...

You can download the drivers for this PC on the manufacturers website.

If one is not available, id suggest looking up the specs, and downloading drivers from the brands placed in the PC(NVidia, ATI, Intel, Etc).


DO NOT!!!! Download from third parties, many contain viruses.

Hope this helps

go to the device manager (right click my computer - properties - hardware tab - device manager button)

look under sound devices, if there are any yellow question marks you need the approprate sound driver device driver, go to the manafacturers website for it, or find the original utility disks that came with the laptop to re-install the driver

if it has its drivers, check the sound devices in sound options (control panel - sounds and audio devoces) and make sure the playback device is set to the default and hasent been changed to something that is no longer connected to the laptop.

Does this problem came all of a sudden? Do you hear sounds before? Check the icon with the speaker (or something like this) at the lower right end of the taskbar. Is it marked as forbidden? Click on it and enable sounds.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.

Hello.
You need to know the mainboard model no. Then, search for the product on the manufacturer's website and you will see what type of RAM memory it needs.

Sometimes I have problems with this on my laptop. Simply opening and closing the screen fully once or twice works for me. If this doesn't work I had a laptop where I had to completely take it apart and something was pinching the display connector and keeping it from working.

yes. it does need the driver. please download the driver for your network card and install it to your computer then test.

Some laptop keyboards have small "tabs" on the edge closest to the LCD screen, and those tabs fit "under" something metal,
in order to hold the keyboard in-place. Gently "work" that area, to get those tabs to move "above" (instead of "under"), to release the keyboard.

1.Drivers are usually given by the manufacturer to work with the latest OS (operating Systems).
Sometime Windows 7 will detect the device and input the drivers it has in it "cab files" but if not present it will prompt you to look online to the manufactures website for updates or it will ask you to run the compatibility wizard .
2. Windows 7 has an option also to run the device in another operating system mode such as Windows XP and may have the drivers stored in the "cab files" for Windows XP for example. If not the manufacturers device will not run in the Windows 7 environment.

start your computer in safe mode login in admin mode and change the password of your user. Steps given below.

How to start in safe mode?

Start your computer after the post boot screen ends and computer ready to enter in windows press F8 button you will get few options select safe mod there.

How to change password ?

Click on start tab select control panel in open menu.
control panel window will come up there you have to select user Accounts icon then you will get you user, get into it do your all administration job.

No you do not need a new sound card but you must re install the same driver after removing the previous one from the control panel

Thanks
