Jump to Posttry turning monitor on after you turn on the tower
Jump to Postno. another thing what about "press f2".
f2 is bypassing any bios/setup errors ,hit f1 and run setup/bios ,make sure time and date are correct ,set bios to defaults,save changes and reboot

When the system indicates to press F2 to continue then it must be the problem with the battery in the motherboard you can change the battery which is called CR2032, then the probelm must be solved for you.

If it works correctly outside the case, it may possibly be the on/off button/switch that is in the case.
You may have to try putting everything back in to the case and try it again.
Can you get a new switch for the case?

It sounds like you may have a faulty motherboard. Have a very close look at all of the can shaped capacitors on it for any that have the tops bulged out, split, or leaking. If you find one or more capacitor like it then they will need to be replaced. For a replacement, the capacitance needs to be the same or a little (but not too much) higher and the same goes for the voltage maximum. The capacitance and the voltage will be printed on the capacitors!

I think it is difficult to change for me. I am not expert on it. what you suggest me, I need to go repair it? another thing I don't tress this capacitor what you said.

If you can't do it yourself then a repair shop is the way to go I'd say!
It's a shame you aren't near me as I have my own computer repair shop!

I check all hardware (one by one) in another pc. every thing is ok. my graphics card is external. in another pc the graphics card was internal. so I could not check my graphics card. can you tell me did the graphics card make this problem.
another thing when I plug the agp card in another pc a sound occurred in cooling fan. when I unplug and connect the monitor the built in agp card the sound was stop.
one more thing: some time when I start the pc it was start and a few second after it restart and when I want to shutdown it manually by power button it not shutdown. why please?

If you have a digital volt meter then you need to test the voltages of your power supply! I am sure that you will find 1 or more of them either low or unstable!

i buy a new motherboard. now all ok.
