At work, one of the computers I use will display "no signal" on the screen when the computer is off and the screen remains on. Not all screens do this. This is not abnormal behavior and usually you should take it to mean that the computer is simply not turned on. However, it can also be caused by the cable between the display and the computer not being hooked up securely or is faulty and needs to be replaced or the display itself is bad. >It is important to note that the keyboard did not cause problems with the PIV >and it caused problems with the AMD number of times and it was not a single >crash. > >It crashed twice against shredder and more than twice against Sjeng and >WoodPusher. > >I finished the game against woodpusher inspite of the crashes but I did not >finish the game against Sjeng (I replaced the hardware in the middle of them) > >I brought the computer again against shredder after I saw that it does not crash >at home but after it again crashed in the tournament I gave up. > >Uri
