If the display on my desktop computer is not working, what should I do?

The issue of no display on your desktop computer tower can have various origins. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to address this problem:

  1. Check connections:

    • Make sure all cables (power, HDMI, VGA, etc.) are properly connected to both the tower and the monitor.
    • Also, check if the power supply is correctly plugged in.
  2. Test the monitor:

    • Connect your tower to another functional monitor to rule out any issues with the current monitor.
  3. Check the power:

    • Ensure that the tower's power supply is functional. Check power indicators and listen for the CPU fan's operation.
  4. Reset memory:

    • Turn off the tower, disconnect the power, remove the battery (if it's a laptop), and hold down the power button for about 15 seconds. Reconnect everything and restart.
  5. Check the graphics card:

    • If your tower has a dedicated graphics card, ensure it is correctly inserted into the PCI Express slot. Try removing and reseating it.
  6. RAM issue:

    • Check if the memory (RAM) modules are properly installed. If you have multiple modules, try removing them one by one to identify any potentially faulty module.
  7. Hardware or software problem:

    • If none of the previous steps resolves the issue, there might be a more serious hardware problem (motherboard, processor, etc.) or possibly a software issue. In this case, it may be advisable to consult a professional in computer repair.

If the problem persists after following these steps, it is recommended to seek assistance from a computer expert for further help.
