Power Save Mode

[MPerrone]

I need help! When I turn on my computer the green light on the monitor turns on for about 2 seconds then it turns to amber. The screen is blank. When I press a button on the monitor the monitor reads In power save mode press any key or move your mouse. I did both and nothing happens. How do I fix this problem? How do I get out of power save mode?

Check monitor connection to your computer.

also, When did this problem start? did you make any hardware or software changes recently?

The monitor is fine. I switched the monitor to my other computer and it worked fine. When I put a different monitor I had the same problem.

I haven't added any new hardware. I just moved. Before I moved it was working fine. When I reconnected that is when the problem started. I switched monitors and the monitor is not the problem.

if you plug the monitor in the bottom, as shown in this pic, then open your computer - touch the metal frame (to prevent static discharge) - remove the skrew that hlods the video card in place - remove the video card - put it back in, making sure it's in there snug - replace the skrew and case - does it work now?
