Monitor displaying "No signal detected" even though computer is on

[Cool Comps]

Weird Problem

Guys i know this isnt the place to post this but plz bear with me.

My computer switches on but the monitor doesnt recieve any signal and it displays a message " No signal recieved " which i used to get when i switched off the comp.

ok now i disconnected the monitor and checked if it was working on my old shitty pc

it worked. I connected it back to my comp. It worked!
But for the past 2-3 days this has been happening. The monitor remains black and after some tries it boots. Today though i had to w8 for veryy long!

BTW so i went for startup repAIR ON WINDOWS. It displayed " Windws cant repair this comp automatically"
However the comp booted. Lets see if this re occurs.

UPDATE::the problem did re occur. Sometimes the monitor doesnt detect signal. Other times the monitor shows the boot up screen and evrything is normal.
BTW can it also happen because of software? because AFAIK it has started to happen after i updated to catalyst 11.7 via my control centre.
Should i uninstall and go back to 11.5?

Suggestion plz ASAP!!

Any sugesstions?

^^ Make a thread in Broadband and Communication section

@ Cool Comps - it would be better if you and others who are facing such issue make a thread on Hardware Q&A section so that others can see and suggest you some more solutions - Hint : sometimes moisturizer cause such issue in rainy season if there's AC inside of the room - so it's best to put some packet of silica gel inside of the cabby

BTW, MD guys told they will bring some Arctic cpu thermal paste - if anyone is going there don't forget to ask them if they have some other cpu thermal paste other tha CM Thermal Fusion

It does? Where to get silica gel and what is it
btw the problem did re occur. Sometimes the monitor doesnt detect signal. Other times the monitor shows the boot up screen and evrything is normal.

Should i uninstall and go back to 11.5?

But I face similar problem a couple of times, despite having a silica gel in place.

^^ even you? Your monitor doesnt detect any signal on startup?

which version of catalyst are you on?
It started happening to me after i updated to 11.7 from 11.5

You think i should uninstall and then reinstall 11.5?

I am just scared ill ruin the situation even more.
The warranty will be voided.

It happens rarely to me, 1-2 times so far. Haven't really though much about it.

11.8 preview, but the problem was on earlier drivers, don't remember the version.

Silica gel one packet, quite a bigger one.

Re: Hardware Price Check and Buying Advice Thread (Kolkata)

I have already stated, despite having the Silica gel, I face the problem a couple of times.

On those occasions when you don't get a display, does it display the POST screen? If it doesn't even show the POST screen, then it's not a driver problem.
