Hi all

Im not all that wise in the ways of the PC so I have a probably dumb question for the tech savy.

I just recieved a used hp desktop as a graduation gift and I cant get the monitor to come on. The tower will come on and I can hear the desktop chime when it boots up but all the monitor does is flash the little green light but wont show a picture? I can hold the button and make it go out but I cant make in consistently stay on or show a picture. I tryed hooking up my montior and cable from my last computer and it did the same light thing which it has never done before.

What did I miss?

Thanks
