Ok, so I've just put my desktop PC through a bit of transit. When I got all the pieses back together and rebuilt it in a new case, I plugged in the monitor and got nothing. The system seems to be running, but I have no clue how to check. All I see is no input.
My first suspicion so the mode was wrong, so I made sure the monitor was set to DVI, which is all my system has, and still nothing. So I swapped to vga, plugged the monitor into my laptop and it works like a dream. So, Monitor is not the problem.
So, now I'm in a situation where I'd rather not go to the crooks at the electronic mall to test the system, but I don't seem to have any other way to test the hardware and see if my GPU is fried, my Motherboard is busted or my CPU is toast. I'm afraid I can only give specs by memory on this one, as I have no access.
GPU: Xenon nVidia GTX 260
CPU: Intel core 2 duo
Motherboard: Asus P5Q
Mish mash of RAM.
Anyway, I think it's a lost cause, but any help is always appreciated. Thanks.
