Fearing an overheating problem I quickly reach for the shutoff button while checkingthe temperature guage on my case.. ( 92 degrees Ferenheit.) so I'm thinking it was not an overheating problem...
regardless, I let my computer sit and cool for a good hour before attempting to turn it back on.
I press the power button and all the fans start, the hard drive spins, all the LEDs go bright, and, nothing... monitor displays a check signal cable warning... now, since it is showing that on the monitor, i'm confident my monitor is working...
I try reseating my video card, my sound card, I try all kinds of combinations of hardware being plugged in and not... to no avail...
Is there anything else I should try, short of buying a new Video card... from what I've done, it would seem I've fried that... though I see no signs of it on the card...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
