I'm not sure if this is the area to be asking my question so if its not please tell me where I need to go in here.

I have had my computer for years now and all of a sudden my monitor will not turn on. The tower turns on np but the monitor will not. It doesnt go green then orange so its not going to sleep or anything. it just will not turn on. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Could it be my monitor or would it be the graphics card? I havent changed anything on my computer. Please let me know if you have any ideas or things I can try.

Thanks

Most likely your monitor is dead. If you have a spare one, try it with your computer, or if not, you can often pick up a cheap $10 one at a local thrift store. Failing that, I would say there's probably something wrong with your graphics card.

Hope this helps
