Howdy folks,
I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me with this weird problem. I have a computer that's running Win98 SE, and a monitor by Spectrum, that I got from some online store about three years ago. They have been working fine since I got them, until recently.
You see, the computer was running, when all of a sudden the screen froze up. So I hit the reset button. Upon this, my monitor suddenly displayed the message "No Signal Detected," and my computer started making this weird and irritating beeping noise. (Both, however, remained turned on, so they were both receiving power.) I presume that this noise is supposed to alert me to the fact that the computer, though turned on, is not detecting a connection to the monitor. Only problem with that is, the signal cable was still securely in place connecting the two.
I've actually had this happen to me twice before (also fairly recently), except those times, I just unplugged the signal cable and screwed it back in, and then the computer would stop beeping and boot up as normal. When I tried this quick fix yesterday, it failed to work. This morning, however, I tried turning on the computer and it booted up fine, without any other action on my part. However, ten minutes later, it froze up again and I was back to listening to the beeping noise and wondering what on earth was going on. That's about where I am right now.
If anyone could shed some light on this mystery, I would be very grateful to him or her. Thanks in advance.
