Morning wrath techys, a few moment of your time if you would be so kind.
My Dell desktop (just over 3 years old) appears to be having problems.
I went to turn it on last night and it went through what sounded like the normal noises but no signal was sent to the monitor.
The power remains on and there's the usual faint background fan noise but no output whatsoever. The monitor is fine, it is displaying a message saying it is not receiving a signal.
If anyone has any ideas or theories I'd be very grateful. Inspiron 560, Windows 7 if that helps.
