Well I fixed it myself for the most part, but when I start up my computer I get a weird error message saying
Floppy disk(s) fail (40)

Also my compute completely freezes within 5-20 minutes of being started up.

do you have a floppy drive if you dont you may need to disable it in the bios.thats normally what causes those errors.


edit: since it will boot again try speedfan it can monitor voltages,and temps.report back on what the voltages and temps are.

My computer has been working perfectly normal for about 5 days.
Now my monitor is tweaking again - I still get that Floppy error I mentioned earlier too.
It's weird because I don't even have a floppy drive.

I started up my PC like normal and pressed F1 to continue through the error screen and I got that screen where it says "Start Windows Normally"
or "Last known best working settings" etc.
Well I clicked the 2nd one after the Start Windows Normally just rebooted the comp and now my monitor wont turn on.
I'm letting the battery chill for a while and I'll put it back in and post if it did anything.
I left my comp on for like 30 hours straight so maybe it overheated or something.

you must have missed what i said a few posts back.you need to disable the floppy in the bios.that is the error with that it cant find one because there isnt one.
