Question

Computer turns on but nothing appears on the screen

Jan 30, 2015 4:18AM PST

Hi,

I have had a HP Pavillion p6 Series desktop computer for about 2 years. I usually use it almost daily and turn it off at the end of the day. Every few months or so the computer would turn on but nothing would appear on the screen. I would have to hold the power button to turn it off then turn in on a couple times or wait until the next day and the computer would turn on and everything would appear on the screen and work perfectly. Last week, the computer once again turned on but nothing appeared on the screen, except this time, after a week, the computer will now turn on except there is still nothing appearing on the screen. I no longer hear the fans running, however, I hear everything else running as normal. I have unplugged and re-plugged in all the cords multiple times and still, nothing.

Please help! Thank you.

about no signal? Cable connections all good? Could be power issue with the PSU.
