Sometimes I turn my PC on but I get no display and the no signal message appears on my monitor. The fix is just to turn it off and on again.
Any idea what could be causing this? Recently changed from 4870 to 560ti but it happened with both cards so that doesn't seem to be a factor.
Spec: i7 920 @ 4Ghz, Asus P6T-SE, Asus DirectCUII GeForce 560 Ti, 6GB DDR3
Seems like your motherboard is plagued with this problem.
Someone said you can just pull out your power cord, hold the on button for 30 seconds to one minute. Then reconnect the power cord and then turn it on. In this case it was with a person who had it permanently. Might help you too though.
Is it just no signal or won't the pc boot at all?

I think it's the usual motherboard drill, everything is on, but it won't boot.

Looking at the fact that the motherboard is plagued with problems like these, it is probaly just that, otherwise it probaly wouldn't turn on.
Also, the reason why you hold the power button is to try and discharge the remaining power.
I would recommend you get a new motherboard. Intel's Desktop motherboards are lovely, changed to them and haven't had a problem since.
Discharging the remaining power by doing as you instructed didn't seem to achieve much. The P6T-SE is plagued by this is it?
I'm not sure I'd consider purchasing a new motherboard as it's really not that much of a problem (all I have to do is turn off and on again if it fails to get display then it works perfect) and the system runs fine otherwise. Probably just wait and save the money I'd use for that til I do a full system upgrade in a year or 2 as my i7 920 still seems to be very much holding it's own and while it would be nice to have SATA3 and USB3, they really aren't a necessity for me right now.

When you discharge power, its to remove settings (Im pretty sure) in the Bios or Cmos. There should be a small battery on the mobo that keeps the settings stored. Take that out, unplug, press power button 20-30 times. Should do it.

To reset the CMOS you would remove the CMOS battery, move the jumper, put back the CMOS battery and you're done. (All while the computer is turned off)
But as mentioned, this is a popular one with this motherboard, and therafore it is probaly just a hardware problem.
