ok so, this morning, i went to turn on my computer, and, well, the computer works fine, but my monitor just wont show any display. i tried the monitor on another computer, and it worked, and i tried another monitor on my computer, and it worked. i tried rebooting the computer and doing a soft shutdown (just hitting the power button, not holding it) and the computer worked fine, but still no display. and when i hit the display menu button on the monitor twice, it says that the computer is in power save mode when it obviously isnt. can anybody help?

If your monitor has multiple inputs, like a VGA input and a DVI input, you may have to press a button to manual switch it over. My Samsung has a button called "source". Also if you have a graphics card, make sure the monitor is not plugged into the on board video card.

no...everything is correctly hooked up in the right places, and there is only one input.

Get a Mac since you're too stupid to operate a real computer.
