Boot-up Problem

When I boot up my computer I hear 2 beeps and than the monitor never turns on. If I turn off and back on the power supply, however, and try booting it up again, I hear the 2 beeps and the monitor does go on. I cleared the CMOS but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure what the beeps are indicating, sounds like memory. Try going to the BIOS and enabling the appropriate video device as first video(AGP or PCI).

Check your floppy cable. Have you jacked with it?? Sounds like it could be plugged in wrong.

Normal boot up is one beep. Anything else is an error.
