Help - Issues with monitor ?

Hey guys i have a problem. :mad:

Here the story.. I was doing windows updates last night.. I fell asleep and woke up to check on my updates to find my monitor would not go on its like
in a sleep mode. I turned off system from switch and turned it on to find a loud noise coming from the case i opened it to find the graphics card fan going really fast but still the monitor isnt going on.

No the screen just stays in a sleep mode state. Could this really be updates that caused this ?

I'm not sure how he's going to boot into safe mood if he can't see the onscreen prompts.

A quick fix would be to remove the CMOS battery and put it back in again, this will have the effect of resetting your BIOS back to default settings and has fixed countless problems for me and friends over the years including unresponsive monitors.

Im lost... am i back to square one ??? does this mean i cant enter safe mode ?

Problem solved. The graphics card was the gremlin... The system seems to be running far faster with the new card. Thanks for your support. I want to thank your mothers and fathers for being up so technically minded people har har har
