Sometimes users of personal computers and laptops have problems with the fact that after turning on the power supply to the PC, the monitor does not automatically start. This difficulty may have a fairly large number of causes of the occurrence of which we will further try to tell in detail, making focus on possible methods of fixing.
The monitor does not turn on with PC
First of all, it is important to mention that monitors are of the most different sizes and models, but they are equally susceptible to the same problems. Thus, this article will suit you regardless of the variety of your screen.We affect only modern varieties of monitors used by the overwhelming majority of users of personal computers.
All material in the article is provided to solve problems with the computer screen, which previously worked stable. If you have purchased a completely new model and, after turning on the PC, it has not earned, you should contact directly at the place of purchase with a complaint.
The warranty period of the device is limited to personal intervention in its work or a predetermined time since the acquisition - remember this.
Turning to consideration of the causes and methods of solving difficulties with the monitor, we note that you can always contact technical specialists for diagnosing and repairing the screen. However, this should be done only as a last resort, subject to the lack of warranty or after independent analysis with attempts to eradicate problems.
Cause 1: Power Interruptions
The most frequent difficulty at which the monitor does not start automatically along with the power on, is the lack of power. In this case, this malfunction can be expressed differently, but in general, the screen itself will not be activated at all.
In order to diagnose this kind of inoperability without unnecessary problems, pay attention to the LED power indicators and operation mode. If the monitor does any existence of a power supply from the network, you can immediately move to the following method.
Under no circumstances concerns the laptop matrix with the exception of cases of connecting external screens.

In cases where there are no indicators on the screen, try disable the monitor cord from the computer system unit. Provided that the device automatically started and presented the screen with an error message, one can safely move to the consideration of problems with the video card or system settings.
Considering all of the above, if the monitor does not provide signs of stable operation, you should try to change the power supply cable from the monitor.
There may be a situation that the change of network wire will not bring due results, as a result of which the only way to solve the problem will appeal to specialists or replacing the device.
In addition to the names, it is necessary to make a reservation on the fact that the screen can be simply turned off through the use of the power buttons.
Following the prescriptions, diagnose the power interruption is quite simple. The main thing is not to forget about checking all possible failures in the power grid, including both the power cable and the power supply.
Cause 2: Cable Malfunctions
This method is more optional, as it is partly associated with the previous cause of the monitor malfunction. However, in this case, the risks of exit from building the screen are much lower than in the problems of the power supply.
A possible problem is that the cable, usually connected via the HDMI interface, may be damaged. For diagnosis, as well as solutions to this difficulty, try replacing the wire connecting the system unit and the monitor.
Be sure to make sure that the image transfer cable is securely connected to the appropriate connectors.
Sometimes, in case of connecting a modern monitor to the old models of motherboards or video cards, it may be necessary to use special adapters. The reliability of contact, as well as the goodness of such an adapter, must be risen.
If possible, try connecting to the system unit another screen with good wires and connection interfaces.
Check the monitor performance by connecting it to another PC.
If you managed to start the screen to start the manipulation, this article ends for you.
Having completed the implementation of the recommendations and confirming the fact of the absence of cable faults, one can move to the last possible technical problem.
Cause 3: Video Card Problems
Conditionally, this problem can be divided immediately into two parts concerning discrete video cards and integrated. At the same time, the approach to the diagnosis and permission to malfunction is always the same.

If you have difficulty connecting a monitor to a discrete graphic processor, then the system unit should be disassembled and carefully inspect the video card connection connector. Inspection and cleaning the connecting contacts of the map, as well as its correct installation, can help solve the difficulties with the screen.

Reason 6: Unstable OS
Unstable operation of the operating system can cause problems not only with the monitor, but also by many other components of the computer assembly. Due to this feature, it is extremely important to diagnose possible problems in operation and eliminate this kind of fault.
Drivers although they belong directly to the OS, are still separate by.
As an example of a malfunction, Windows WINTOV can cause such a situation at which the screen fades in front of the welcoming screensaver. At the same time, the system load indicator, as well as all possible elements of the BIOS control, remain in working condition.
