3. Double check that the video cable is connected to the computer.
4. If possible, try swapping with another monitor that is known to work.

Applications Locking up PC: ![]()
1. If Windows freezes or gives you a General Protection Fault - restart Windows and try it again.
2. Try reinstalling the application software or the Windows operating system if you get frequent errors. It is possible a needed file was deleted, moved or overwritten by a previous file version.
3. Surf the web for patches or updates for your software or hardware components.
1. The most obvious thing to look for is the network cabling. Make sure it is properly connected to the network card on the computer.
2. If you are on a peer-to-peer Windows network, the other computer you attach to needs to be up and running. If you attach to a server, see if it is running and ask coworkers if they can utilize the network.
