    hi guys
    I have a Packard bell pc imedia S3210 running wind 7 home premium


    I have checked the ram by right clicking on my computer and then clicking on properties and it says I have 3gb of ram and 2.75gb usable which im guessing is fine.


    I done this because just lately my monitor keeps turning of and saying no signal even though pc stays on, all the cables are connected ok but I read some where it could be I don't have enough ram

    I doubt that it is ram that is causing this, although with a 64 bit OS you are on the lower limit


    I am not familiar with the imedia s3210, but when did you last open the case to check for dust build up


    Although you say the cable is connected OK if possible try another cable and try the monitor on another computer with your cable - these are the sure fire ways of testing the monitor and cable.


    Try installing this driver

    The Packard Bell iMedia S3200 desktop supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM.

    If yours has 3 GB of RAM, it likely has a 2 GB module in one slot and a 1 GB module in the other slot.

    The 1 GB module can be swapped for a 2 GB module.

    Make sure both modules are the same speed.

    You can confirm if the current modules are DDR2 PC2-6400(DDR2-800 MHz) speed or a different speed by reading their label.

    well - What can I say

    but it is knowing what to look for - finding it is easy when you open the case
