Problem installing windows 7.?

So im trying to install windows 7 on my stationary computer but i encountered some problems.. I had a problem on the computer before, the screen doesn't connect well to the computer. To make it work i had to start the computer then wait about a minute or so then power on the screen otherwise the screen would say no video input, i also got the same problem when using another screen. I got used to living with it but then came the time when i needed to install windows 7. I inserted the disc and started the installation and everything was looking good but then when the installation restarted the computer my brother turned of the computer after it was powered on (by pressing down the power on button for a few seconds). Now when we start the computer we cant get the screen to work at all and the computer just keeps restarting. What are the possible solutions for this problem? will i need to get a new graphics card or something like that or is there another way to solve the problem?|||I read your question three times and it seems to me your video card is not working, you state that you have to wait a minute or so or the monitor says no video input, the same happens when using another screen. If you have a graphics card that is plugged into the motherboard that remove it and use the on board graphics card - remember to change the BIOS settings. Failing that you will have to by a new graphics card. Be careful when buying a new graphics card because you have to match it to the motherboard. If your motherboard is about five years old you might have difficulty in getting a graphics card for it.



I can't image it being a problem with the monitor, it seems to me the monitor would either work or it wouldn't. I idea of a temperamental monitor just doesn't make sense to me, as well as the fact that I have a monitor that is some 10 years old and that still works. But then I have barely moved it so there is no way I could have broken anything inside it. If anything was damaged inside the monitor then the 1.5A fuse would blow and the monitor would not work. The fact that your monitor is telling you that it is not receiving an input signal means it must be operating correctly. It has got to be the video card.|||Hi

if this is an old monitor the chances are that it has eventually died.

It has been trying to warn you that it wants to die..now it has.

also unplugging the monitor without powering down the monitor often blows the video card that is a common mistake. so it could be both and on rare occasions even the motherboard gives up also.|||try reinstalling windows and then u might have to dl a new video driver



also u may need to boot directly from the win-7 install disc

enter ur bios and change the boot divece
