    When I plug in the cables to my Windows XP I got a No signal on the monitor while the XP is running . I know the monitor works because I used it on my other XP. Could it be the power supply getting bad or is it be something else? and Graphic Card is good

    also, you say it worked on a different xp, but how long ago? take a monitor that works now and see if it will work, if not it is the monitor.

    also if this is a desktop, then ensure that the power to the tower is on.

    since you say you can hear the fans and stuff, it could be the graphics card, if it was the power supply the pc would not come on at all.

    Machine model that doesn't work would be helpful too. Onboard graphics card/PCI, VGA/HDMI/DVI missing a lot of info that would help us help you.

    Still not much to go on. I see you have an HP desktop but don't know the model. You haven't replied on whether it is VGA, HDMI or DVI. Could be a faulty cable, try swapping the video cable from the working one with the non-working one.

    I have a VGA , Faulty cable you say? This monitor works with my other computer works fine!

    I just watch this video this guy having the same issue . But his worked.

    So I did all the steps what this guy did I turn off my xp unplug the power , take the cmos battery out and push in the power button hold it to drain all power out of it .

    After that I put in a new cmos in, plug in everything , I turn it on - It's still doing it. It Runs but no-signal. Do I have a Bad ram , motherboard or power supply ?

    Check the resolution supported by the monitor and make sure you have 2x monitors set up and each has its proper resolution.

    1. Power off monitor. Remove power cord.
    2. Turn off computer. Remove power cord.
    3. Connect video cable from computer to monitor.
    4. Replace power cords on both.
    5. Turn on monitor.
    6. Turn on PC.

    Did this help?

    Set all the screen resolutions to the minimum--640x480 or 800x600 or whatever. Did that help?

    Your RAM and ram slot are both physically damaged and burnt. I don't know how but it is. Maybe it was forced in backwards some how or the system powered on without the ram fully seated. But the ram is likely completely dead now and the motherboard's ram sockets are probably dead too. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that's probably what it is. See if you can connect either a PEIZO beeper or actual PC Speaker to the motherboard's PC Speaker header (should be near where the power/reset/HDD-LED plugs go). If you turn it on and it just beeps at you and has no video then it's probably dead.
