But I just attempted to execute your suggestions and same thing happened. It is not consistent, sometimes runs for hours and happens, other times only minutes before I lose the screen. I must add that the speakers that are connected make a 'ffttt' noise as this happens which tends to suggest that maybe there is a 'spook' in my hardware somewhere??? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/optiplex-320-no-vga-signal#post-34619 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:06:36 +0000 Lighthouse 34619@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Of course you are right whs. What was I thinking of? Thankyou for pointing it out :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/optiplex-320-no-vga-signal#post-34617 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:57:35 +0000 whs 34617@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>LH, I think F8 is for Safe Mode. BIOS is usually F2 or ESC - I think. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/optiplex-320-no-vga-signal#post-34615 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:46:46 +0000 Lighthouse 34615@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>hi Toppy, welcome. It is possibly being caused by the Power Saving option in the BIOS.<br /> Reboot your machine, and keep tapping (either F2, or Esc, or maybe Delete), until the BIOS screen comes up.<br /> Look through the menu until you find Power Saving (or something very similar) and disable it.</p> <p>Edited </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/optiplex-320-no-vga-signal#post-34611 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 13:56:54 +0000 Toppy 34611@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Optiplex 320 problem: As a total amateur I am having problems with loosing the signal to my monitor after about 30 mins activity.<br /> I believe the computer is still running but I cant see a thing as my monitor goes into the sleep mode.<br /> It will start and display if I turn it off and give it a rest.<br /> I have already stuffed up one hard drive as I learnt the hard way trying to reboot constantly.<br /> Can any Guru out there help me. It's driving me nuts and I don't have a boat to use this thing as an anchor! </p>
