You need a SVGA cable or S-video cable depending on your "monitor out" configuration. Doesn't matter if it is a PC or laptop, Windows or Mac system. Make SURE the SVGA cable is 2-male ends because the computer and monitor EACH have female ends. Visit Best Buy or Fry's Electronics if you are unsure what will work.

How do you fix your computer tower it does not turn on at all?

If nothing happens when you press the power button, make sure all the wires are connected. make sure that both the computer and the monitor are plugged into a power source. Also, make sure that the monitor is connected to the computer. If it still does not turn on, you might be having a problem with one of the components in your computer. At this point I would take it to a specialist and have them figure out what the problem might be.
