There's one computer at my place that really puzzled me up. Everything is fine at one time and not fine at another. I thought it was the plug, took the whole thing on another.. I even dissassembled the whole thing. No change, I hear the HD boot, but the monitor remains black, like there are no signal at all, There are appearantly no problem whatsoever, I even brought it to 2 different hardware stores (thinking that its problem are out of my league), all boot up with no problem .. Yet, still the problem persist. Does anyone even have any ideas?

Secondly, that computer also suffer DHCP problem. I set that computer to access the internet through LAN. but now (when its up, that is) the subnet mask remains 255.255.0.0 (unlike other computer on LAN which subnet mask are the normal 255.255.255.0) .. Ipconfig /flushdns then ipconfig /renew didnt work =/

The comp is WinXP SP2.

BTW, did you even changed hardware to see if the problem was any of them? Like the cables, video card and monitor? Disassembling and assembling back won't do any good if 1 component is working bad.

You said you brought to 2 diff stores... what did they say ?

Thats the puzzling thing.. Both stores unable to find anything wrong with it.

Does the monitor remain black from the very beginning or does the bios information appear on boot?

Remains black.

Monitor was tested fine on other computer.

Ok hardware specs would be good. Are you using onboard video or a video card? Is your monitor working with another PC? Deal with that first. You can't fix DHCP issues without a monitor to see what you're doing.

Onboard video card.

What did you take to those stores? Just the case? If they didn't find anything wrong with it them it must have been 1 of the things that you didn't take to the store that is broken.

Does your computer pass POST? Does it start up, and begin loading Windows? If not, then the video card/internal video is the problem.

The LAN - is it also onboard? I am starting to worry if the video and LAN are onboard and not working properly.
