Computer Doesn't Emit a Video Signal

[Johan1031]

My old Hp Pavilion p6240f isint outputting a signal to my monitor.  The computer turns on with no beeps, but the monitor is unresponsive.  It is not a faulty cable or my monitor.  I have ruled out the RAM as the problem since the computer boots up and the fans keep running even if I take out all of my RAM.

On-board video or are you using a dedicated graphics card?

On board.  Specs:  Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300  RAM - 8GB DDR3  Storage - 2tb HDD  OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit  Graphics - Intel GMA X4500

Well, given how you stated you took out your RAM to see if that was causing an issue, you've at least looked inside it.

 

What I would recommend is looking all over the system to see if there is something wrong.

Is there some singed componentry on the motherboard? Does the power supply smell funny? Have you considered changing the CMOS battery?

Visually, I see no singed components on the motherboard.  I have taken apart the computer multiple times and put it back together to maybe see if there was in error in installation but no luck.  The power supply does not smell funny.  And no I have not considered changing the CMOS battery.
