No Video Signal

[sandrisb]

Here is the problem. When my desktop PC is turned on there is no video signal. Monitor stays black as if PC was not turned on. I can hear HD working, windows start music in my speakers but no video. Not for a second after pressing power button. I can press power off button on keyboard and after nice windows goodbuy music PC turns off.
It started one morning. Previous night there where no troubles. Turned it off normal way and next morning - no video.
Checked monitor - attached to my laptop with the same DVI cable - no problems.
Changed video card - no changes.
Tried to take out RAM - left only 1 - no changes
Took out battery from MB for 5min - no hanges.
Checked contacts - everything looks good, light, fans on video card works, everything looks normal. But no video.
checked cables - attached, reattached, tightened - no video
System - thermaltake 500w, asus a8n5x, 2mb ram, seagate 160gb, elitegroup nvidia 9600gt, amd 64 3200+. onlite? dvdrw, fdd 3.5, winXp

Any ideas what could cause this? Tried to google but could not find anything like this.

Let me know if any other info could help.

Thanks.

you did all that you should have done. alot of detailed info there.
you said you changed the vga card. did you try a different card or did you reseat the one you have. ? is this a new build?

It was a different - brand new. I really thought video card was a trouble. What a dissapointment.

It is not new built. Major changes were done by you guys on 2006. then year ago i upgraded video card as fan gave up on that one. For over a year there where no troubles.
Around month ago had to change power supply.

Some say that it could be because of power supply. But everything else works well. I even plugged video card to connectors for cd (some kinda of special wire attachments came with video card and allowed that). but no changes.

I will try to play around with RAM - to change the last ones. No big hope on that though.

Thank you

ok. after long hours i have figured this out. Pci-e slot was faulty. I put video in pci-e 4x slot and everything goes. :)

Now I need new mobo, processor, memory.
any suggestions for sundays gamer?
