The monitor to my Dell XPS 410 begins with a green light and immediately goes yellow after I power up the computer. The monitor does work because I connected it to another computer. I tried hitting keys on the keyboard and moving mouse after power up. I tried unplugging the power cord, holding the power cpu button 30 seconds. I've also tried unplugging and re-plugging everything going to and from the motherboard. The computer comes on and stays on with the fan running. I just can't get the monitor to come on. It states it is in Power Save Mode.  I hadn't operated the computer for three years because I moved and it was in controlled dry storage because I have five(5) computers; two for personal and three for business. However, I wanted to use this because I needed to remove and/or transfers old files and donate this to a useful organization. I did remove the Video Card and Re-installed the same card. I don't know what else to do. I would run a Bios but, how do you do that without a monitor? Please Help! JIM
