follow first advice given by iko22, re-plug your monitor to another place like vga one r other but one of the motherboard port.

Ok, I tested another monitor on the computer via HDMI and nothing, ....
Also used the DVI port...

Thanks

Have a look at the last comment in this thread (hope I'm allowed to post the source), the guy posted a method trying enter the bios (he will be more clear than me detailing the steps).

This worked for me, run the optional steps too for better luck:

Turn on your CPU
Keep an eye on your keyboard/mouse light to know when your USB devices get powered. As soon as you see the keyboard/mouse light up, start pressing DEL
Your CPU should now be going into BIOS although your monitor is still blank and not showing anything.
(Optional) Wait for 10-20 seconds just to make sure it has entered the BIOS. To make sure the BIOS is up, pressing ALT+CTRL+DEL should restart the CPU. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
(Optional) Press F9 then left arrow then ENTER to reset BIOS to defaults. Your PC will not restart after this.
Press F10 then press ENTER.
Your CPU should restart and now you should be able to see the BIOS option, hit DEL key to enter bios like usual.

Also a way to check the motherboard capacitors and soldered video ports?
you'll have to unmount some parts to have a closer look.

Amoretam, I was not aware of the motherboard called Sandy Bridge. When I started doing some research, I was pleased I didn't have one. I guess you are a Gamer. I am not, so your experience is way beyond mine. But the webpage.... Best Sandy Bridge motherboard: 8 reviewed | TechRadar
gave me a bit of an education. I love windows 7, and my desire to help where I had had a similar experience was what motivated me. But I think the Sandy Bridge stuff is a bit outside my experience. I hope you solved your problem. I would love to hear what you found and how you solved it. Cheers.

Thank you, I still have to follow NoN's last advice. I haven't go the time.

I love Windows 7 too and dislike Windows 10.

I am not a gamer, I am an audio production guy.

Thanks

coincidence... my grandson is doing audio engineering at a uni in Sydney... and I am a composer trying to publish and produce my music with skills I have learned over 20 years... and I HATE Windows 10.. Now I find they are adjusting many installations to not be compatible with windows 7. Microsoft needs a real WW serve. They could have left Windows 7 for the "Home User" and made Windows 10 for "Business".... Nearly everything I do is on Windows 7 compatible software. Windows 10 is impossibly over complicated and not at all user friendly for users focused on ART or MUSIC ... I see no real advantages with Windows 10 that could not have been built into the Windows 7 system including OPTIONS for users to use their own computers the way they want to.

Explanations of Hard reset and resetting BIOS
Computers sometimes have the issue of no display, Laptops for sure, unplugging, remove the battery (not CMOS) and pressing the power button quite often is the fix, by discharging the capacitors (residual power). I know of a few unscrupulous tech that charge a substantial fee to do this. If you have ever worked on a computer and didn't perform this step and tinkered with a non-discharged capacitor its a shocking experience!
