I have a hp v75 desktop computer that I just brought back out of my garage, and when I plugged it up and everything, all the lights would turn on even the monitor, but when I press the power button, the light turns green for a second then turns yellow, then it wouldn't do anything, I shook the mouse to try and get the monitor on, but it was just a blank screen, so I went and bought a New mouse, still didn't work, I have everything plugged up correctly I just don't understand why it's not working?
I got it on, I just had to restart the computer, I guess it had to warm up or something... Idk but I'm glad it's on lolI got it on, I just had to restart the computer, I guess it had to warm up or something... Idk but I'm glad it's on lol

Ensure the video cable is connected (and connected to the correct video port).
Turn off the monitor using the monitor's power button and then restart the monitor.
Cycle the power on the monitor as follows:
Turn off the monitor. The power light on the monitor should be off. Leave the computer turned on.
Unplug the power cord.
Wait 5 seconds.
Plug in the power cord.
Press the power button on the monitor to turn on the monitor.
One of two things happens:
The image from the computer displays on the monitor and you can use the computer again. This indicates that the monitor was unable to detect that the computer had awakened from suspend mode. Turn the monitor off when it is not being used or disable suspend mode. For some computers, updating the BIOS corrects these types of suspend problems.
The power light on the monitor comes on but the screen displays one of the messages again. The monitor is not receiving a video signal from the computer that it can detect and use. Continue using these steps to adjust the Windows display resolution to the Monitor's native (default) resolution
Connect the monitor to another computer that you know is working to determine if the monitor should be serviced or replaced:
If the monitor displays an image from another computer, you know that the monitor works. Troubleshoot the video connection and graphics adapter on the computer.
If the monitor remain blank when connected to another computer, the monitor signal processing hardware may be bad. The monitor should be repaired or replaced.
you could replace your video card.but it could be a motherboard problem as well.if your card can be removed try it in another pc.you could also try resetting the computer bios.
I'm just guessing, but it could be that the resolution you are using on your MS-DOS monitor is not compliant with the new monitor you are trying to use. Check the supported resolutions of the monitor that you would like to use, and then make sure you set that resolution before switching monitors.

As your monitor had showed up once before, I assume it is still in a good condition. The next time, you were not able to wake up the monitor by pressing the power button on your CPU cabinet, which means, the power supply to the monitor may have been interrupted. To check whether your monitor is working properly, plug it to any direct connection and see if the power button on the monitor is flashing. If this works, get everything plugged up, check all the connections properly and try to run the computer again.
Why would you want to connect to Windows? Yecch. Go to OSNews.com and check around for an interesting OS and filesystem combination.
Still, I'd chalk it up to your having plugged another bootable volume into the machine (e.g. a CD ROM) or otherwise changing the setup from what you brought to GeekSquad. Honestly, you've described the problem circumstances quite poorly. Does it not beep before booting -any- OS?
