No video on my desktop monitor
I have Dell Dimension 4550 with a NVIDIA Ge Force FX5200 AGP8x. I cannot recive video to my monitor. only the following message "DSUB Power saving mode"
The diagnostic lights show Y-G-Y-G and when started the computer i can hear 6 bips. It seems the problem is confined to the video card. Since I cannot run the diagnostic because I have no video, I don't know what to do
Anyone can helpme? It would be appreciste it to receive any comment to my email address [Admin Note: Email removed per TOU] I'm not familiar how to retrive messages via the forum. I am just new member. Thank you for any help.

This is not what customer was talking it he has an issue with Y-G-Y-G which is related to "Video controller failed to initialize or respond ". Here is the Image for reference:
If the computer has a video card, remove the card and reinstall it.
If the problem persists or the computer has integrated video, see "Contacting Dell" in the Dell Owner's Manual for instructions on obtaining technical assistance.
Arturo,
Reseat the Video card and check if it works fine

Memory modules are detected, but a memory configuration or compatibility error exists.
Try testing each ram stick 1 at a time.
When done install in pairs.
You can do 1 or 2 or 4 but not 3.
