Hi all, need your help

my pc was running smoothly until two days ago; then suddenly the monitor won't respond after the power up
checked the monitor, it's still working when connected to my laptop
opened the PC: mobo power LED, checked; cpu fan running, checked; psu fan running, checked; no smell or sign of burning; fdd, cdrom, & hdd looks normal (blinking occassionally)
power up & down several times, still the monitor won't show anything when connected to the vga plug
no beep sound of POST (a bit worrying)
tried to unplug & re-plug RAM, also no change

BTW, mobo is Asus A7V8X-MX
checked website, their recommendation is only to clear CMOS

perhaps some of you guys have clearer notion on what to do here

big thanks - :confused:

Did you clear the CMOS as suggested?

Are you using the onboard graphic or do you have a AGP card? If you have a card remove it and see if your onboard graphics works.
